[pulseaudio-discuss] libpulse deadlock

[Colin Guthrie]

'Twas brillig, and Rémi Denis-Courmont at 18/07/11 17:36 did gyre and
gimble:

> I might have missed something obvious but there seems to be a race condition 
> resulting in a deadlock in libpulse 0.9.22 (Debian).

> pa_stream_drain().

Thanks for creating the bug. It'll be easier to track now. :)
