Description:
Just upgraded from PA 6 to 7 today, and now audio keep getting dropped. I've had this problem in some video games and music players: ↪ mpv ~/Music/Dissection/Storm\ of\ the\ Light\'s\ Bane/05.\ Retribution\ -\ Storm\ of\ the\ Light\'s\ Bane.opus Playing: /home/rowan/Music/Dissection/Storm of the Light's Bane/05.

This may also be of interest. tanuk on #pulseaudio suggested recompiling pulseaudio with two commits [1][2] may also resolve issue with terminated connections. The first four patches are already merged according to tanuk's response to a bug report [3]. My attempts to compile pulseaudio 7.0-2 through ABS ran into dependency conflicts.

Disabling shm in pulseaudio was an unexpected fix for tanuk. The problem firejail has is depriving the jailed app of the `/dev/shm/pulse-shm-xxxx` file it expects. I'm not using firejail, so what fixed my problem? Time to back-track.
I updated my `~/.config/pulse/client.conf` and removed the `enable-shm = no` setting. After a `pulseaudio -k`, I found I could not reproduce the connection terminated issue, which indicates that messing with the shm setting may not have an effect. About the only other thing I did at the time was `pulseaudio -k` to restart pulse after adding the setting. Media apps are still working fine so far.
