Bug#611358: upgrading kernel to 2.6.32 triggers an assertion in pulseaudio

[Anton Ivanov]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.10-3+lenny2
Severity: important


This looks the same as Ubuntu: #403786

Same message:

core.c: Assertion 'pa_idxset_isempty(c->clients)' failed at pulsecore/core.c:165, function core_free(). Aborting.

And the daemon dies. It happens at random times. I have not been able to create an exact set of conditions 
to reproduce it. Heavier CPU load and moving a lot of X-windows around trigger it from time to time, but it 
is not 100% reproducible.
