[pulseaudio-discuss] unable to remove sink or source suspension when switching desktop environment

[Oz Dror]

I have pulsesaudio running on ubuntu 15.04 desktop on vt7

I have a container running arch on vt8 using the PULSE_SERVER on vt7

/etc/pulse/default.pa includes the following lines:

load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;192.168.0.0/24

as soon as I switch form vt7 to vt8 the pulseaudio sinks and sources
becomes suspended. If I am switching to any of the terminals tty1-7
I have no problem. Even If the container uses that terminal. I get IDLE
instead of SUSPENDED.

When I apply any of the following commands the suspension does  not change:

pactl suspend-source 1 0
pactl suspend-source 0
pactl suspend-sink 1 0
pactl suspend-sink 0

There is something in the X11 environment that  force
this irreversible suspension.

I suspect that there is a conflict. I cannot tell where it is coming form.
Possibly from one of the the modules.

any help will be appreciated.

vt8: pactl list sinks:

Sink #1
        State: SUSPENDED
