[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio test suite failures

thanks for reporting!

I'm trying to reproduce (which is tedious); it would be easier if one 
could investigate the build machines...

gah, I'm not going to install hurd :)
this tests one function, pa_get_binary_name() in src/pulse/util.c, if 
/proc/self/exe exists, an #ifdef could be added for hard


I think pa_mix_s24_32re_c() is simply wrong, and has never worked; it 
should advance m->ptr by sizeof(int32_t), not 3 -- will submit a fix and 
update the test code

is this emulated or real hardware; some tests take long, so we could just 
increase the allowed time
