alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write

Hi,

Each time I boot in journalctl I notice the lines
which you can see in the attached journal.txt file.
Attaching also the output of alsa-info.sh. Both files
are compressed to minimize message size.

Please let me know if this is an actual bug and what
is causing it.

P. S. The "Bug Tracker" link on project's home page
shows a "not found" page.

It's grumbling PulseAudio about the wakeup timing isn't strictly
synced with the reported avail size.  In most case, you can ignore it
unless you actually have the audible problem.

Is that not a problem? (considering it appears in red
in the log)

I have been doing this since Leap 42.1 (perhaps even
before since 13.2) but I thought it may be time to
report it.

Not too serious in most cases.

OK. Thanks for the feedback. I leave it up to you to
prioritize it.

I will unsubscribe from this list as I am getting too
much other mail I am not really interested in. If you
need any additional feedback from me this is also
filed in:
