Created attachment 814405 [details] pulseaudio -vvvvv &> pulse.output Description of problem: Pulseaudio is crashing consistently on the 26 computers in our schools lab, making sound based applications unusable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-3.0-10.fc19 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. I've followed the instructions on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_PulseAudio_problems to run pulseaudio -vvvvv 2. run 'pulseaudio -vvvvv &> pulse.output' 3. I then run 'pacmd ls > pacmd.output' as suggested. 4. Open Activities > Programs > Sound 5. Click "Test Speakers' 6. Click "Test" for one of the speakers. A sound is heard (Front [Right|Left]) 7. Click "Test" again for one of the speakers. No sound is heard. The pulseaudio server aborts. Actual results: The pulseaudio server aborts and the following line appears in the output (with the second line appearing at the prompt. E: [pulseaudio] module-stream-restore.c: Assertion 'pa_hashmap_put(u->dbus_entries, de->entry_name, de) == 0' failed at modules/module-stream-restore.c:1397, function subscribe_callback(). Aborting. Aborted (core dumped) Expected results: I would expect the sound to play as expected. Additional info: Trying to use applications that play sounds sees them lock up. For example kdenlive works until you try to playback the 'movie' you're making and then it just hangs. With 'autospawn = no' just using the GUI sees pulseaudio die while using other applications.

Do you want me to get some stacktrace for this?
Yes please.
Okay, I've installed all the debuginfo files and run gdb pulseaudio run thread apply all bt full quit and then copied the output to gedit and saved as a file. I'll attached the output as pulse.gdb

Is more information needed for this bug?
Created attachment 948562 [details] Patch that keeps PulseAuidio from aborting on my system Since upstream hasn't done anything with this bug, here's the patch I used to make it stop aborting on my machine. It might work for you too.
I've moved the lab to fedora 20 and this problem is no longer a problem. Not sure if you want to keep this open?
Note that my patch is against pulseaudio-5.0-10 so that version is still broken.
Jay, you sure your issue is the same as Rodd's? (he claims the latest pulseaudio no long exhibits the problem for him, per comment #8) Regardless, any issue still affecting the latest pulseaudio release ought to be sent upstream to bugzilla.freedesktop.org (I can, but it's ideal if done by someone experiencing the specific problems in case they need any additional information or feedback).
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
