no space left on device

[Richie765]

Hello, Running Omarchy with wiremix v0.10.0
When running wiremix I get regular crashes with message "no space left on device"

For instance below I am starting wiremix several times after each other. In about 30% of the cases it crashes instantly with the error:

omarchy/bin master ✗ wiremix
Error: Start error: No space left on device

omarchy/bin master ✗ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ wiremix
Error: Start error: No space left on device

omarchy/bin master ✗ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ wiremix
Error: Start error: No space left on device

omarchy/bin master ✗ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ wiremix
Error: Start error: No space left on device

omarchy/bin master ✗ wiremix

omarchy/bin master ❯ 

I have plenty of free storage. Im on ZFS if that matters.

The error message comes from PipeWire. Googling it reveals that others have seen it in connection with certain audio devices. Could you please share the output of pw-cli list-objects Device? And could you try starting wiremix after disconnecting any external audio devices?

I'd like to find out if there's a more graceful way for wiremix to handle the error.

This should be addressed in main now. It doesn't look like these PipeWire errors are fatal, so release builds of wiremix now just ignore them. (Debug builds exit and print the error.)

I'd be curious to know how it works for you - I wouldn't be surprised if some things don't work right with the problem device(s).

I'm having the same issue with Error: Start error: No space left on device, both on the version in the Arch repos (v0.10.0, package version 0.10.0-1), and commit 6a6cf7c. It similarly seems to randomly crash with both versions by default.

From what I can tell, the cause is my Corsair Virtuoso, if there is some audio running, and the output is set to the headphones. That seems to cause the random crash. If I pause the audio, wiremix runs fine. If I resume the audio with the headphones as the output, it seems to crash on resume with the same error. If I set the output to something else, even with the headphones as a possible output, it never seems to crash. Also, once I trigger the crash by resuming the audio, it seems to crash consistently.

Also all of the above seems to only happen if the headphones are connected via cable, and not via bluetooth.

In case it helps, the pw-cli list-objects Device output for the headphones wired is:

id 49, type PipeWire:Interface:Device/3
                object.serial = "50"
                factory.id = "15"
                client.id = "47"
                device.api = "alsa"
                device.description = "CORSAIR VIRTUOSO USB Gaming Headset"
                device.name = "alsa_card.usb-Corsair_CORSAIR_VIRTUOSO_USB_Gaming_Headset_1685dbae000300da-00"
                device.nick = "CORSAIR VIRTUOSO USB Gaming Hea"
                media.class = "Audio/Device"
                object.path = "alsa:acp:Hea"

And for wireless:

 id 58, type PipeWire:Interface:Device/3
                object.serial = "1984"
                factory.id = "15"
                client.id = "47"
                device.api = "alsa"
                device.description = "CORSAIR VIRTUOSO Wireless Gaming Headset"
                device.name = "alsa_card.usb-Corsair_CORSAIR_VIRTUOSO_Wireless_Gaming_Headset_16744f09000100dc-00"
                device.nick = "CORSAIR VIRTUOSO Wireless Gamin"
                media.class = "Audio/Device"
                object.path = "alsa:acp:Gamin"
