[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] pactl: Flush stdout buffer when printing subscribe events.

[Nikolay Amiantov]

"pactl subscribe" is running continuously, and without flushing its output is
not usable for "process-on-arrival" per-line tasks, such as grepping. This
patch should fix this. For example, now:
pactl subscribe | grep 'server'
should print only server events as they arrive.

This is my first ever patch to a public mailing list and I'm a novice, so please
feel free to tell me if I did something the wrong way.
