Occasioanlly, in some rare cases, sound does not work in a VM

Sound doesn't work in some VMs. The easiest way to spot it is grayed out "attach/detach audio-input" option in Qubes Manager. This isn't clear yet which VMs have this problem and why.

I've found one VM with this problem and its pacat log contains:

Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused

Log modification time is the same as VM startup time.
This is DispVM started from autostarted AppVM.

Closing until somebody reproduces it. Also note we just upgraded to fc20, which might just fixed that anyway.

Hello,

Actually I do reproduce the trouble (on Qubes R2 and fc20 template).
(I'm not the original poster).

I've got a big uptime (23 days), and this morning, pulseaudio decide to restart itself.
All my already started VM cannot produce any more sound, with the exactly same error message in pacat.log

I don't know if it's important for this problem, but I've got serious trouble with pulseaudio and Qubes concerning the sound.
Frequently, the pulseaudio inside a VM just get "stuck", and in pacat I have "stream underrun" multiples times.

If you want that I do more test , I'm on Qubes-user and my e-mail is briaeros007 on gmail :)

Cordially
