[pulseaudio-discuss] Mono and SIGPWR interaction

[Jay L. T. Cornwall]

Hi,

A follow-up. I found this block in src/pulse/thread-mainloop.c:

/* Make sure that signals are delivered to the main thread */
sigfillset(&mask);
pthread_sigmask(SIG_BLOCK, &mask, NULL)

Sure enough, temporarily commenting this out fixes my problem. I 
understand the reason for this code to exist, but it's unfortunate that 
the PulseAudio client library forces such a PulseAudio-centric design in 
order to interact with it when the majority of applications will have no 
need for this.

Would it perhaps be possible to make signal capturing conditional on 
pa_signal_init() being called? Obviously the code cannot simply be moved 
into there, as it would run in the wrong thread, but something along 
these lines?
