I wanted to check if anyone else is seeing this: I'm running Fedora 11(-to-be) with (as far as I know) the default pulseaudio configuration. Sometimes when I log in -- I'd say over 50% of the time but I'm not sure -- everything basically freezes (mouse moves, menus work, but nothing starts) for over a minute. Then I get a dialogue box titled "Removed Sound Devices" that says:
KDE detected that one or more internal sound devices were removed.
*Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?*
This is the list of devices KDE thinks can be removed: - Output: PulseAudio Sound Server
(Sometimes the device is "Capture: Default" instead.)
Is this just me? I've realised I've been ignoring it for a while because it only seems to happen on login so I forget about it after that, but it probably does deserve some investigation...
I get this rarely when entering kde but the display is not frozen and if I ignore it it will continue with no problems.
FWIW I had this behaviour yesterday after upgrading to kde 4.3 beta 1. I have never understood the reason and since it is very difficult to reproduce and a minor annoyance I have ignored it. :-)
