Description Dan Winship 2011-04-11 20:39:54 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #645429 +++

If pulseaudio dies, it gets respawned correctly. However, the control center sound panel loses the ability to frob PA unless the control center is restarted.

I'm pretty certain that's not the case, but I'll have to try that properly tomorrow.
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2011-04-12 13:01:45 UTC 
OK, actually, the description is slightly wrong; you don't lose the ability to change the volume, you just lose the beeps when you do so.

When you kill pulseaudio, g-c-c says:

    (gnome-control-center:23600): sound-cc-panel-WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

and then the next time you try to adjust the volume, it says:

    (gnome-control-center:23600): sound-cc-panel-WARNING **: Default sink stream not found

and there is no audible feedback. However, the shell volume control will reflect the change that you made in the control panel, so it apparently really is changing the volume. Likewise, if you change the volume via the shell or the keyboard volume keys, it will be reflected in the control panel (but you won't get beeps then either, because the shell and g-s-d are both experiencing the same no-beeps-after-reconnect bug as the control panel is).
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2011-04-12 21:04:43 UTC 
Losing the beeps means that libcanberra is getting broken by this, not the sound panel.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2011-04-13 10:39:49 UTC 
Does everything else work, is it just the beeps not working?
Comment 5 Dan Winship 2011-04-13 13:55:28 UTC 
It's just the beeps.
