Don't connect to pulseaudio with PA_CONTEXT_NOFAIL #16

Closed vodik closed 11 years ago

vodik commented 11 years ago

NOFAIL means we don't fail if the daemon is not available when pa_context_connect() is called and instead enter PA_CONTEXT_CONNECTING state and wait for the daemon to appear.

So currently if pulseaudio isn't running or available, ponymix will just block and wait. Since a lot of people use ponymix bound to their volume keys, this could potentially mean spawning 100s of processes before actually catching on that things aren't working.

PA_CONTEXT_NOFLAGS was introduced in 0.9.19. Its really just 0.
