Bug#412376: pulseaudio: cause a crash & burn in other appl..

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.5-5
Severity: important

Hi,

I've (recently) converted much of my system to use PulseAudio.
Unfortunately, I have occassionally come across a few programs that
simply do not play well with PulseAudio taking control of things.

Sometime, that means that I kill the PulseAudio -- when that happens, it
takes down other programs as well:

eve:[~]% iceweasel
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to create stream.
[...]
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to create stream.
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection terminated
[...]
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection terminated
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) iceweasel

I'm not sure which part of PulseAudio is causing the problem here,
but I'd be happy to assist in debugging if anyone would care to point
me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Anand

Do you still have this package with pulseaudio >= 0.9.7 ?

If you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it.
