#287 Temporary UI freeze on play/pause when using pulseaudio
When using pulseaudio for sound output, whenever I start or stop playback, the UI will freeze, with no sound being played for 0.1 - 5s. It becomes response again while audio is playing, or is successfully stopped.
No issues when using jack for sound output.
I'm using Arch Linux with zen kernel. Let me know if you need any more information. I didn't see any obvious error messages in the console.
I've attached a wav file that can be used to reproduce the issue, but note that it happens on all the files I tested, not just this one. The noise in the file has nothing to do with the bug.
$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio 13.99.3-4-gd83a
$ sonic-visualiser --version
