[vlc-devel] [PATCH] pulse: fix audio dropout when the input buffering takes too long

[Jonathan Calmels]

Could you be a little bit more explicit ?
If it's forbidden, why does the initial code assume that the latency could
be negative ?

Here is the use case:
1. I have a remote stream I'm playing with high latency
2. I seek somewhere on the stream
3. VLC finishes buffering after few seconds
4. Pulse audio TimeGet reports a zero delay, I lose the audio and not the
video.

All the other audio outputs work fine btw. So how to fix it properly ?
