I want to re-benchmark with SHM off, at first sight it appears that load
is LOWER (for low-latency)?!

look at the error path of pa_srbchannel_read() in do_read(), file
pstream.c:
if (re == &p->readsr) {
r = pa_srbchannel_read(p->sr, d, l);
if (r == 0)
return 1;
}
re->memblock is acquired above, but not released in case of error;
the fail exit path releases the memblock if necessary
the return value of 1 looks suspicious too (should be -1 or 0 I think)
return 1; -> goto fail;
works for me, patch following

my runtime library has backtrace(), but returns zero data; may some
misconfiguration, resorted to printf() debugging :)
