Description Wojciech Myrda 2016-02-05 08:39:00 UTC

Patched version of xfce4-session breaks pulseaudio when starting media-tv/kodi from xfce. Starting kodi results in segfault of pulseaudio at start od kodi which makes sound in kodi disappear

steps to reproduce
1. install xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.12.1-r1
2. login into xfce4 session
3. start kodi

To bring back working audio in kodi all is nedded is to downgrade to xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.12.1

today I got another fail with unpatched xfce-session-4.12.1 so there problem is definetly elsewhere.

Dmesg shows following during pulseaudio crash:
[ 2595.137557] traps: alsa-sink-ALC11[4510] general protection ip:7fe60640937d sp:7fe60814ab80 error:0 in libasound.so.2.0.0[7fe6063b5000+e4000]
