-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 For some reason (unknown as of now), the '''pulseaudio''' daemon cannot
 open the ALSA device {{{hw:0}}} here. The exact reason is irrelevant for
 this bug, though.

 If the daemon is in that state, starting '''pavucontrol''' will execute
 the MainWindow::updateServer() function which then executes

 {{{
      defaultSourceName = info.default_source_name;
      defaultSinkName = info.default_sink_name;
 }}}

 but both {{{info.default_*_name}}} values are {{{(char *)NULL}}}. This
 will result in a segfault.
