[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#534801: pulseaudio: Watermark constantly increases

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.15-2
Severity: normal


Pulseaudio keeps reporting IO errors and increasing its watermark (whatever that is) as I use my system.  Sound seems to play 
fine anyway so I don't know what the severity of this should be.  I'd like to not get any warnin-like pulseaudio log messages.
