I've seen that crash, it's the pulse library that crashes from time to time...

Before, myth was calling the suspend call at the start of mythfrontend and then at the end...

We now call it only when the audio card open, then close...

Pulse seems to not like being suspended then closed too often :(

OTOH, that the audio card is open and closed so often is a design fault with AVFD IMHO. It destroy/create a new audio instance whenever it starts decoding a new audio stream.

Initialization of the audio class should be done at the beginning of NVP, and only once ; it would solve lots of other issues too..

I was holding that change until the OSD branch got merged in, as it modifies NVP...

Resolution: → fixed
Status: new → closed

Reverse changeset r24560. Fixes #8497. This is a temporary solution, libpulse shouldn't be crashing to start with, but it doesn't like being suspended/resume too often
