I got a weird error message. mpd is running in the background playing a FLAC soundtrack in the background. I have the system default pulseaudio config slaved to an alsa dmix so that multiple pulseaudios can share the sound card shentino@toasty 0 ~ $ pulseaudio W: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.

This looks really weird. We need more information to fix anything in the ebuild. You can find many hits with a search engine. I found for example https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-691844.html The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I suggest to try it in upstream related forums first and report back what you found out.
The issue in question is more the assertion failure. I would concur though that upstream would know more.
After further investigation it was brought to my attention that the issue in question was caused by an unclean shutdown. Upstream might want to work on the issue in question, but it's definitely not a gentoo problem.
