This is the broken_pause I was talking about. It is mentioned in the
warning message of the code that detects it inside the init(). However
it seems that it is enabled only for 1.9.11 to 1.9.14 and assumes it
is fixed in the later versions.

Maybe we should allow users to enable it from the command line and
config. e.g. -ao pulse:broken_pause:broken_drain
