[MPlayer-users] Continuous "Audio device got stuck!" warnings playing audio-only files with -ao pulse

Hello,

since r34693:


LANG=C svn log -v -r 34693

Try to detect when an audio driver ends up hanging after
repeated seeks.

This should at least give a clear message in the case of
bug 2039.


MPlayer continuously prints "Audio device got stuck!" warnings to
console while playing audio-only files with -ao pulse (but not with -ao
alsa), otherwise the playback works impeccably. I use the following patch

as an I-don't-have-a-clue-what-I'm-doing hotfix, but a real skillful
solution for this new annoyance would be greatly appreciated.
