Description t 2015-07-04 10:27:08 UTC
Server & Client are using PulseAudio 6.0-2. Sometimes video-playback is blocked, but sound is streaming over TCP. After restarting PulseAudio on Client & Server a several times, video-playback is working again. I've tested video-playback on Firefox, Chromium, mpv & mplayer, all of them are having the same issue.
I've asked on Freenode and at least one other person said it's friend is having the same issue.
I'm new to the bug-tracker, so please tell me which additional details you need for debugging or reproducing.
Thank you!
