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:

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:

This is likely the same problem as in bug 51060. I'm marking this as a duplicate.
