Darwish <darwish.07@gmail.com>"> Ahmed S. Darwish</a> <pre>These are 3 bugs in one psymptom ;-) Fixes for the first two are sent here: <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2016-November/027175.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2016-November/027175.html</a> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2016-November/027176.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2016-November/027176.html</a> Due to the above two fixes, commands like below ones now work succesfully: pacat --channels=3 /dev/urandom pacat --channels=5 /dev/urandom Third issue can be reproduced with the following command: pacat --channels=3 /dev/random Note device change from urandom to random. Above final issue makes pa_stream_write() fails with EINVAL due to misaligned audio - which resulted from an incomplete pa_read() due to /dev/random strict randomness semantics. Maybe we should use a ring buffer in that case. Third patch to be sent soon.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
