<pre>I'm trying to run pulseaudio as service on a headless Raspberry Pi platform
with most recent packages:
ArchLinuxArm OS : Linux 3.10.28-1-ARCH
systemd 208-10
pulseaudio 4.0-6
Starting and stopping pulseaudio via systemd regularly leads to system-freezes
during shutdown caused by systemd-journald crashes ("out of memory" is the last
console message).
I was able to simply reproduce this by issuing the simple command sequence:
pulseaudio --daemon
pulseaudio -k
In about every second case this leads to crash of the systemd-journald process
with a subsequent restart. Probably because the restart isn't possible during
shutdown the system freezes.
Systemd-developers should be able to handle any misbehaviour of daemons when
shutting down daemons.
Console-listing:
~ >ps -aux | grep systemd-journald
root 1835 0.0 1.4 50616 6752 ? Ss 18:05 0:00

As can be seen the systemd-journald has been restarted after the second
sequence.</pre>
