[pulseaudio-discuss] thread safe of idxset

[Tong Wu]

Hi Tanu,

Also which thread does all of the hooks (PA_COE_HOOK_SINK_INPUT_PUT, and so on) run in?

My understanding is that within the PA daemon process, PA daemon has a mainloop (which is a thread), and IO threads within the sinks or sources. Are there threads corresponding to each of the client applications (paplayer and so on)?

Thank you every much.

Tony

I see that for instance in function apply_cork_to_sink() in module-role-cork.c, there is a loop over all sink_inputs of a sink via idxset. What about a sink_input disappears during that loop?
Is apply_cork_to_sink()  running in the PA daemon's mainloop? And all sink_input's come and go only happen in the PA daemon's mainloop as well?

Many thanks.

Tony

pa_idxset is not thread safe. What code are you working on?
