<pre>Appears to fix the issue. No freeze, no crash. Thanks, guys.
Complicated, this: Dual cards. Turn one off. Play a sound. Pulseaudio freezes.
Turns out it is a configuration error: The combined sink cannot handle removing
hardware, if I understand this correctly.
I did already check for /etc, ~/.pulse and dconf mis-configuration. Repeatedly.
For a long time, removing .pulse seemed to fix the issue for the next login.
But at the time I had all sorts of problems even booting the machine (a race
condition in the two graphics drivers, which is gone now). I didn't think to
look for gconf mis-configuration.
Besides, I wouldn't have known to remove combine-sink, it was not obvious to me
this would have any effect, even when I got the advice from you.
Will you write this as user error, or will you try to fix the issue? I mean, it
is still there, because I see this as a workaround.
Anyhow, I can use the system now, which is great.</pre>
