Description:

Most of the details captured here - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1780719
Basically, I have a usb audio interface which works fine on Ubuntu but gets freezes my system on Arch Linux.

Additional info:
* package version(s) - latest (last updated a week ago).
* config is default, log extract can be found in the forum thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1780719

Steps to reproduce:
1. plug in e-mu 0202 USB audio interface
2. observe that pulseaudio hangs, and after a bit - USB bus hangs, until the interface is unplugged.

Interesting is that if I stop all instance of pulseaudio (with "chmod -x" and killall), then plug the card in, then "chmod +x" and "pulseaudio -D" - everything works.
Again, no such issue on Ubuntu (but I have not tried on the same machine yet... Gotta try Ubuntu livecd)
This task depends upon

I've found a workaround - "sudo killall pulseaudio" as soon as I plug in the interface. Pulseaudio gets restarted automatically, and all works fine.
I think we can lower the severity to normal.

Sorry, did not intend to add a comment. No news so far, workaround sort of works (sometimes have to try several times - power the card on and quickly "sudo killall pulseaudio"), nothing new to report.

Do you still experience the problem?

PulseAudio has closed the issue a year ago due to lack of followup, and because it pertained to now obsolete Pulseaudio v11 and Linux kernel v4.16.
