media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.27 have a issue described in the URL which cause pulseaudio abort like this: > pulseaudio: pcm.c:2719: snd_pcm_area_copy: Assertion `dst < src || dst >= src + bytes' failed. > [1] 2309 abort (core dumped) pulseaudio As noted in the URL, just a "skipping video with audio in smplayer2 using the arrow keys" easily cause the fault. This is quite annoying. Thankfully, the issue is already solved with this commit: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2d39afe6139ab16aa2aeea0f51f32db79ab1262 I had had this issue for a while, applied this patch and stay with patched alsa-lib-1.0.27 having no further crash. So could you consider applying the above patch please?
...or we could make it a version bump to 1.0.27.2.
