Created attachment 127782 [details] end of output from pulseaudio -vvvvv When I turn down the volume in VLC or Audacious to zero, pulseaudio crashes with a segmentation fault. since I am running gentoo: $ emerge -pv pulseaudio These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I can't reproduce this, so we need a backtrace. Here are instructions: Run "gdb --args pulseaudio -vv". A command prompt appears, enter "run". Make pulseaudio crash. In the gdb prompt, enter "thread apply all bt full". Copy the output and attach it to this bug. "quit" in the gdb prompt will exit gdb. Since this is a crash bug, I'm marking this as a release blocker.
I just spend a few hours adding debugging symbols with CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -ggdb" FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug installsources" USE="debug" nice ionice -c 3 emerge -vuND pulseaudio now I also cant reproduce… I will revert and report back.
Yup, seems like a Heisenbug for the record, here is what I get: (gdb) thread apply all bt full Thread 2 (Thread 0x7fffed2f4700 (LWP 7983)): #0 0x00007fffed34466c in snd_pcm_area_silence () from /usr/lib64/libasound.so.2 No symbol table info available. #1 0x00007fffed344834 in snd_pcm_areas_silence () from /usr/lib64/libasound.so.2 No symbol table info available. #2 0x00007fffed386482 in ??

This is likely the same problem as in bug 51060. I'm marking this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 51060 ***
