I've also ran into the same issue - crash in sndpcm_area_silence(), running
Gentoo ~amd64. In my case though the problem was isolated to a particular
application, ie. other apps would work fine but rhythmbox would end up crashing
pulseaudio.

Using the workaround from Comment 4, removing "front:%f" from extra-hdmi.conf I
was able to get rhythmbox to play songs without crashing pulseaudio, however I
noticed that rhythmbox's volume was 0 on pavucontrol. After bumping the volume
level up I was able to hear the music being played. What is even more curious
though, is that I reverted the change to extra-hdmi.conf, restarted pulseaudio
and rhythmbox was STILL working.

This leads me to believe that this bug may have something to do with the
per-application volume level getting somehow messed up.
