Streamer Errors Upon Resuming Audera Sessions

[sameleff]

Over the past few days, this has occurred several times:

• I start an Audera streaming session by 'casting' from my phone to the audera plexamp target
• Later, I disconnect my phone from audera by directing it's output away from the audera plexamp target
• Wait a while (unclear how long it takes). Later, when I want to start an audera session again, I am able to start a streaming session following the same process as bullet 1, but no music plays from any speakers
• Once I reboot the streamer, everything works as expected

Example journalctl log files from a recent incident, starting from when I attempt to start a new audera session.

Sounds like this may be camilladsp related? Or at least, after googling the "PB: device stalled" message, this issue came up related to devices resuming in a paused state.

@sameleff hm odd one! Have not had this happen to me yet,

• How quickly are you restarting?
• If you wait, will it ever recover after 30 - 60 seconds?

I did some accidental testing recently: it only seems to have issues with extended periods between plays (e.g. a day or so). It seems to work if I only wait a few minutes or a few hours. I'm wondering if this behavior may stem from some interplay with HDMI between the RPI and my receiver? Meaning: if the receiver powers off, something with the HDMI connection may not resume correctly with the RPI.
