Output of loading skype without "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30"
As far as I know, this is some weird Skype bug, so I'm closing this with resolution NOTOURBUG. I don't know why Arch removed the workaround. They removed it because the "workaround" didn't work for everyone. Some people have a working Skype with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 and broken without it. Other pople have a working Skype without PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 and broken with it. Having such a workaround in the repo is dumb. |

Created attachment 96261 [details] Output of loading skype with "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30" Arch Linux recently removed the use of PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 when running Skype. I now get no audio in Skype. This includes notification sounds like the startup sound. Running Pulseaudio 5.0 on 64bit Arch Linux also with a 32bit libpulse. I have attached two logs of pulseaudio -vvvvv. One with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 and one without. The log without PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 has many repeated lines of "D: [alsa-sink-ALC887-VD Analog] memblock.c: Pool full", which looks suspicious. Just to be clear, the sound only works when PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 is used. All other programs' sound appears to work fine on my PC.
