again you got me confused. ;-)

First you write automatic suspend is disabled and then you write, your
system is going to sleep after a certain amount of time.

So it seems not to be related to GNOME 3?

Judging from information in your other messages, PulseAudio seems to be
killed by some other program for some reason.

Could you check, that PulseAudio is not running by executing the
following on a command line?

        $ pulseaudio --check
        $ echo $?
        0

If the return value differs from 0, it means that PulseAudio is not
running.

Please try this with `autospawn` enabled and disabled. Since I would
suspect, `autospawn = yes` would restart the PulseAudio daemon after it
being killed.

If it is killed and not restarted, try to start PulseAudio manually and
look if audio will work again.

    $ pulseaudio --log-level=debug

This one could be similar. You could try to run some GStreamer
application like `gst-launch2` to see if you get the same error.

Also you can follow up on the report.

    $ bts show --mbox 617401 # from devscripts packages

Now import the downloaded mbox file into your mail program and answer to
the reporter *and* <617401 at bugs.debian.org>. Ask if the problem can
still be reproduced and if a solution was found.

The debug messages from them seem different. But please try the proposed
solution in there.

Again, please write down every detail. Is this before or after the
suspend and resume cycle and if you get audio or not?

If that is after resume, it means PulseAudio was not killed and is
running.

You could try MPlayer to test things. For example:

    $ mplayer -ao pulse some-audio-file.ogg
    $ mplayer -ao alsa some-audio-file.ogg

Look at `man mplayer` on how to increase the log level for certain
modules.


Thanks,

Paul

PPS: Let us try to stay in this thread now as all different messages are
too confusing (for me). I am sorry if that means you need to post
information again.
