Description Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) 2013-10-30 12:38:36 UTC

b98a2e1 introduced a new field in pa_card_profile_info (src/pulse/introspect.h). On i686, this increases the size of the struct.

pa_card_info uses a simple array of pa_card_profile_infos. If the size of pa_card_profile_info changes, this array is read as garbage.

This crashes applications using pa_card_info, like gnome-control-center.

I checked the doxygen output, and the \deprecated tags didn't work as expected. Instead of generating some red "WARNING, THIS IS DEPRECATED" text, the tags just removed all documentation for the marked fields.
