These issues could result in the crash of an application acting as a pulseaudio client. This condition is greatly exacerbated when the client is unable to connect to the pulseaudio server. Due to the fact that libcanberra is used to play event sounds in GTK apps, this problem could present itself when running GTK applications as root which, under some circumstances, was unable to connect to the user's pulseaudio daemon. The problems were traced to the use of libasycns in pulseaudio and this updated package is compiled without support for this library (it is not essential to pulseaudio operation). In addition, the version of pulseaudio shipped in Mandriva Linux 2009.0 used wallclock time to determine when a misbehaving daemon was overloading the CPU (under which circumstances the daemon terminated). This can cause problems when the time is changed manually or when daylight savings kick in. This package also contains an upstream fix to use monotonic time which does not suffer from this limitation. _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2009.0: 12633635b2129cf2a6f8bbc3c6047d4c 2009.0/i586/libpulseaudio0-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 13737f25178cb2beb245a1cacf54b716 2009.0/i586/libpulseaudio-devel-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 1ff92b8b63d752b0751f1dbbd7180ba9 2009.0/i586/libpulsecore5-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 3b58fc81356044c00450bf75b356320f 2009.0/i586/libpulseglib20-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 8e6d2426bedfb5f60a48968594f93075 2009.0/i586/libpulsezeroconf0-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 411827da489d8d121f2b01d30ad6bffa 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm d72407fd2e3c744a71898a8fa0ed6b2f 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm ebd6b99e3cbe19ab3b5a3692b3e2b997 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 27d74a77b68dceebc35a39560d7a157f 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm a9a708963b5601dc64c05ebc3e16ffed 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-module-jack-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm acf004578c66cad201e355d606803763 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-module-lirc-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm d61eb7b5c37b331cca6aa8c5fc1325d2 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm ce06c8fac515d1edde566efe863750df 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm 8ba95806b7d516510cc5ace7d4964c96 2009.0/i586/pulseaudio-utils-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm b6731cfa1df648c0c717679e0975b4e1 2009.0/SRPMS/pulseaudio-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2009.0/X86_64: a5df3e0dd8c0dd441ab3098ff474fc1f 2009.0/x86_64/lib64pulseaudio0-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 4f829cafb53e8df9cbe226c371b5b892 2009.0/x86_64/lib64pulseaudio-devel-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 1d80e7b903949bde47637e38c8d2ed07 2009.0/x86_64/lib64pulsecore5-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 077a7e453658baf907f31505304838cc 2009.0/x86_64/lib64pulseglib20-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm aa98a5e5086a3aa371160b0730b46aec 2009.0/x86_64/lib64pulsezeroconf0-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 7f1385e58281c648a111c07548550121 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm a40b48f0bfd0ef80fdb7fc8cafa89d71 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 63d3c5573eff6e9713f3ae6d60176e7d 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm bbc08bef5b00369265f469366fe223b7 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm d7385a7e353c1b8966a4150ee69ad077 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-module-jack-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm e7d70207fb255fa02dd01992544e0aec 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-module-lirc-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 570894058d006f82e610a8634ef3cbfc 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 9ba103e31a8bed1116ab4211f6b84601 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm 7d92e4c10d26318b0da6b0354f06118e 2009.0/x86_64/pulseaudio-utils-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm b6731cfa1df648c0c717679e0975b4e1 2009.0/SRPMS/pulseaudio-0.9.10-11.1mdv2009.0.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
