Apologies for another email immediately after the previous, but I was just trying things out in another machine, in which pulse does NOT crash, but multiple error messages are emitted at the point where presumably my laptop would have crashed:- JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 2 JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 1 JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 1 JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 1 JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 1 JackEngine::XRun: client = PulseAudio JACK Sink was not run: state = 1 JackAudioDriver:: ProcessAsync Process error Those are the only 3 lines I see, and they repeat in no discernable pattern.
