Revert commit e02e290d7c

Using the latest stable-3.x branch, clients hang for a while, and e.g. paplay times out with the error "Failed to drain stream: Timeout". Other clients like mplayer seem to be stuck indefinitely.

I bisected it to commit e02e290d7cccd0cfbc89bacf5c0be7934ee58ece (Call change_cb() only when there's an actual change.). With this reverted it works again. (see attachment)

In the case of paplay it seems to be stuck in the ppoll call from pulse/mainloop.c:862 until it times out and then exits with an error.

Forgot to mention: This only happens on the first start after the machine boots up. After killing pulseaudio and letting it autospawn again it works.

Also I just tested it with git master, which worked fine.

After cherry-picking cb0f3d2 (reserve: Move get_name_owner() to the public rd_device API) and 58def1f (reserve: Fix leaking NameLost signals after release+acquire) the stable-3.x branch also works again.

Thanks for reporting. I have now added those two patches to stable-3.x.

I'll close this bug.
