PA doesn't seem to shut down, but rather crash completely, it does not even seem to output an assert which would normally be expected. As this is a crash, you need to get the output from gdb and get a solid backtrace. There are debugging tips on our Community wiki page. Also you are using 0.9.22, please try updating to PA 0.9.23 All the best Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
