Package: libpulse0
Version: 0.9.21-3
Severity: grave

libpulse0 fails to connect to a pulseaudio sink when invoked like:

$ PULSE_SERVER=tcp:10.22.0.21 PULSE_LOG=99 paplay -vvvvv question.wav
Opening a playback stream with sample specification 's16le 2ch 44100Hz' and channel map 'front-left,front-right'.
Using shared memory pool with 1024 slots of size 64.0 KiB each, total size is 64.0 MiB, maximum usable slot size is 65496
Trying to connect to 10.22.0.21...
Connection failure: Connection refused

It always fails with "Connection refused" but tcpdump reveals that there
is no connection attempt. If a hostname is used, tcpdump shows that the
hostname is successfully resolved, but it results in the same behaviour.

The machine arch is armel:
Linux bernd 2.6.32-5-orion5x #1 Fri Aug 13 06:13:20 UTC 2010 armv5tel GNU/Linux

This problem lies somewhere in the asynchronous dns resolving, because
compiling the Debian package with --disable-asyncns it works. I am not able to
confirm wether this is a armel specific bug, but with the same versions installed
on AMD64 it works fine.

Apart from that the error message might be wrong and is misleading.
