So after my last email I changed the way emerge/gcc compiles pulse/alsa to use MINIMAL flags (not even -march=native) and nothing crashes anymore. The last thorn in my side is skype. When skype starts it's loging sound seems to get stuck somewhere and never plays. Event sounds like messages sent/received seem to corrupt some buffer somewhere and never stop playing. During calls my USB mic will die and I have to switch to a hardwired mic. If skype starts when I don't have another stream running (mpd native pulse, or say youtube over alsa plugin) all sounds/sources will have constant pops and crackles until I close skype and any other sources and start it after. Thank you for your time. Aug 17 23:19:52 haf pulseaudio[4921]: [alsa-sink-STAC9205 Analog] alsa-sink.c: Limited to 1348 bytes.
