I have been looking into the odd behavior reported with the packages which MohammadAG was kind enough to provide. The patch which replaced the flist implementation would not seem capable of producing these problems. I built the source package myself and installed the libpulse0 package (the other packages would not have been changed by the patch). The result was the same unreliable ring. reinstalling the original Nokia supplied package restored normal behavior. I also built and installed the unmodified source with the same strange results. I also note that the original libpulsecommon-0.9.15.so from Nokia is 163488 while the one I built is only 130736 bytes.

It seems that the source Nokia distributes for this version of the package does not produce the same functionality as they distributed. Does anyone have an explanation other than the obvious one that Nokia may have published incomplete source?
