Hi, Im fighting with a problem with pulseaudio which randomly appears. I can start and use pulseaudio without problems. Sometimes when I restart pulseaudio it wont start anymore. Then I get the message "Failed to handle SIGBUS". The only solution I found right now is to restart my whole vserver. What does "Failed to handle SIGBUS" actually mean? How can I get Pulseaudio working without a full server restart? On the bottom of this email you can see the pulseaudio -v output. Thanks for you help!
