(Like, a > magic clear value or something?) I don't think it's openSUSE specific. It's likely the guard put by either gcc or glibc. FWIW, we pass the default optimization flags like: CFLAGS=-fmessage-length=0 -grecord-gcc-switches -O2 -Wall \ -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables \ -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -fPIE The problem was reported from both gcc-4.8 and gcc-5.x systems, so the gcc version is likely irrelevant. > Also, are there any distro patches to OpenSUSE and if so, where can I > find them? No, there is no patches apparently relevant with this. Actually there are three patches, one is to check an additional environment check in start-pulseaudio-x11, another is to suppress an error log at sockaddr_prepare(), and the last is a fix in memset() size in echo-cancel/adrian-aec.c. But all these should be safe. All sources, patches, build log and binaries are found in OBS, e.g. at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:libs/pulseaudio thanks, Takashi
