Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-11-23 20:12:06 CET

An Ubuntu-specific patch caused PulseAudio to incorrectly handle snap client connections.
Do we provide this?
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/pulseaudio/current/SPECS/pulseaudio.spec?revision=1641577&view=markup

I am not an expert but I don't see this in SPEC file.
