since a month or so I'm getting problems with sound in java-applications (mainly minecraft). I haven't started it in a while so I have no clue when exactly this happens. But it happened after I updated to pulseaudio 6 (since (mainly) StarCraft 2 (wine) got very laggy after a few minutes - due to pa everytime - so I switched to pa6 and that problem got fixed).
To summarize my problem: I have no sound - sometimes from the beginning, sometimes it takes a few seconds.
I tried multiple things:
I switched java versions (icedtea 7 (src and bin) and oracle 1.
I switched back to PA5
I tried different minecraft launchers (I don't have any other java application that makes any sound)
I tried pasuspender and padsp
I can see java registering into pa (pavucontrol sees it) but there is no sound at all (not even visual - sink doesn't matter).
Every other application I run works fine with no problems at all.
There is one issue I've found (which isn't a big deal for me): The front-Audio-Out (Headphones) isn't working anymore, I have to plug my headphones into my speakers.
I've logged my pa output so I can see that minecraft is heavily producing output there. Since it's mainly the same line, I'll just post the lines here:
Extremly often just this:
