[Bug 302276] Re: Suspend/resume breaks sound output until Firefox is restarted

[Chris Conway]

Another month, another ping. Can anybody please help me advance this bug
towards a fix?

The same issue affects Seamonkey and Totem. Seamonkey, like Firefox,
gets hung with a "zombie stream" and won't close properly. Totem doesn't
hang, but the video starts to skip and sound is gone. In both cases,
restarting the application restores sounds fully.

I suspect the issue may be with ALSA. Here's what I get from "pulseaudio
-vvv" when I suspend/resume:

D: module-hal-detect.c: dbus: interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device, path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4, member=Condition
W: module-alsa-sink.c: Got POLLERR from ALSA
D: module-hal-detect.c: dbus: interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Device, path=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_BAT0, member=PropertyModified

I have followed all the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578
I have purged and re-installed the packaɡes alsa-base, alsa-utils, and linux-sound-base.

Just tell me what information I need to provide to make some progress on
this and I will happily provide it. Even just a cleaner work-around than
killing Firefox would be much appreciated.
