I don't recall seeing this specific error, but a low-level data structure corruption suggests a concurrency bug. If your application were a C program, it should not access pa_mainloop, pa_context, pa_stream etc. objects from multiple threads, unless locking is appropriately implemented with pa_threaded_mainloop. I'm not familiar with the Python bindings, so I'm not sure how helpful this is to you. Does your application have multiple threads? It could also be that the Python bindings are buggy. -- Tanu https://liberapay.com/tanuk https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
