[Bug 1436162] Re: [pulsesink] abort at pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:118, function pa_mutex_unlock() with libc 2.21

 

It seems the issue only happens when at least 2 threads are waiting for
the wait condition (that gets triggered by pa_threaded_mainloop_signal).
When I'm unable to make it to crash, it always shows only one thread
waiting the signal.

So my current theory is that there might be issues when calling
pthread_cond_wait on more than one thread at the same time (maybe when
increasing/decreasing the mutex count).

  [pulsesink] abort at pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at

Bug description:
  current build number: 146
  device name: m75
  channel: ubuntu-touch/vivid-proposed
  last update: 2015-03-24 13:57:03
  version version: 146

  After libc 2.21 landed, pulsesink fails constantly when pausing or
  seeking the active pipeline.

  Abort message:
  Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:118, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting.

  This is basically happens when it tries to unlock a mutex that is
  already unlocked.

  This issue doesn't happen with libc 2.19.

  To reproduce the issue:
  GST_DEBUG=*pulse*:5 gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///tmp/foobar.mp3

  Then when playing, just hit control+c, which will then pause the
  pipeline, causing the crash. The crash happens with most of the times
  you pause or seek the pipeline.
