[pulseaudio-discuss] sound stopped working

[Joerg Beyer]

Hello,

I installed pulseaudio with ubuntu-8.4 (beta). Sound worked, but only 
for a few hours and stopped working - I have no idea what action might 
have caused it, since it happend while I switched watching a video from
my camcorder from one player to another.

Since it happend with the ubuntu beta, I filed a bug there:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/206087
Feel free to ask for further details.

I am looking for a way to determin, what eats my audio:
I use paplay test.wav - and I can not hear anything.
pavumeter shows a moving/changing signal -> seems OK

It maybe the alsa backend that kills the sound output - but I don't
know that.

How can I determind which component kills the audio signal?

    Thanks in advance
    Joerg
