Bug#290387: Still reproduceable with 1.2.1

Hi,

I just want to let you know the problem still exists in Totem 1.2.1.
As bug #299122 also indicates totem has problems when xine is using alsa
for audio playback. I ran totem with debug output today and noticed the
following problems:

When pausing the playback totem outputs:

set_speed 0
audio_alsa_out: Drain call failed. (err=-11:Resource temporarily
unavailable)

When it receives SIGALRM it outputs:

set_speed 0
audio_alsa_out: Drain call failed. (err=-11:Resource temporarily
unavailable)
totem: pcm.c:890: snd_pcm_state: Assertion `pcm' failed.

This assertion seems to causes SIGALRM and the Gnome error dialog pops
up. Even if this happens totem keeps playing the video without sound so
it is not entirely dead.

I once even could make totem popup a message that the audio device is
already in use when pausing and resuming the video too fast, that
indicates that there is a threading problem in totem. A new thread seems
to open the audio device before the old thread has closed it.
