Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVA-2008:148 ] pulseaudio
LinuxSecurity.com: Some issues relating to thread cancellation have been discovered in the pulseaudio package shipped with Mandriva Linux 2009.0. These issues could result in the crash of an application acting as a pulseaudio client. This condition is greatly exacerbated when the client is unable to connect to the pulseaudio server. Due to the fact that libcanberra is used to play event sounds in GTK apps, this problem could present itself when running GTK applications as root which, under some circumstances, was unable to connect to the user's pulseaudio daemon.

pasuspender(1)						      General Commands Manual						    pasuspender(1)

NAME

       pasuspender - Temporarily suspend PulseAudio

SYNOPSIS

       pasuspender [options] -- PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS ...]

       pasuspender --help

       pasuspender --version

DESCRIPTION

       pasuspender is a tool that can be used to tell a local PulseAudio sound server to temporarily suspend access to the audio devices, to allow
       other applications access them directly. pasuspender will suspend access to the audio devices, fork a child process,  and  when	the  child
       process terminates, resume access again.

       Make sure to include -- in your pasuspender command line before passing the subprocess command line (as shown above). Otherwise pasuspender
       itself might end up interpreting the command line switches and options you intended to pass to the subprocess.

OPTIONS

       -h | --help
	      Show help.

       --version
	      Show version information.

       -s | --server=SERVER
	      Specify the sound server to connect to.
