Comment (by pcwalden):

 Steps to reproduce

 1. Add combined sinks in preferences. Add pa server start at log in
 preference[[BR]]

 2. With USB device disconnected, start up and log in. Start paman to see
 the combined and the internal sound device sinks in the devices tab[[BR]]

 3. Plug in USB device, see the usb device appear in paman devices
 tab[[BR]]

 4. start a client (I used vlc), press run button on vlc.[[BR]]

 5 See paman disconnect from pa server. pa server has crashed with
 Assertion '!op->outq_rtpoll_item' failed[[BR]]


 Work around. If after the failure above, I log out and log in (do not
 reboot). The pa server has restarted. I can run vlc without crashing.

 This is a pain. If I start up with the USB device connected, My udev
 (fedora 9) hides the internal sound device with the USB device. So I must
 start up and then connect the USB device in order to access both of them
 concurrently. However, connecting the USB device after start up forces me
 to go through the above failure and work around
