Comment 1 John Poelstra 2008-10-09 19:37:57 UTC 
seeing the same thing with 13.2 packages on i386f
Comment 2 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-10-09 20:08:06 UTC 
Seeing the same thing here, although I do see some

I: module-alsa-source.c: Overrun!

as well, every 8 to 20 lines of

I: memblock.c: Pool full
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2008-10-17 14:37:40 UTC 
I: memblock.c: Pool full

Is this informational message actually a problem ?
Is this a blocker ?
Comment 4 James Laska 2008-10-17 14:44:38 UTC 
THe end result is that pulseaudio exits.  I believe that isn't the expected result.  I'm not sure if the "memblock.c: Pool full" contributes to the failure, or if it's informational.
Comment 5 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2008-10-17 19:52:40 UTC 
Having the "pool full" message appear 10 times a second, and "Overrun" messages in between, and then having pulseaudio exit... I'd think the messages themselves are not a problem, but something within pulseaudio is going wrong and the messages are indicating what that might be.
Comment 6 Lennart Poettering 2008-10-23 02:31:36 UTC 
The pool full message is usually a sign that some client doesn't unref the data blocks it read from PA quickly enough.
Comment 7 Lennart Poettering 2008-10-24 21:16:00 UTC 
I think this is simply another duplicate of 462200. At least I assume that "pulseaudio exits" refers to the CPU load limiter.
