Hi PulseAudio developers,

I am developing PulseAudio Python Binding in C based on pa_threaded_mainloop to
handle pa_context_subscribe callback.

For example, when received PA_SUBSCRIPTION_EVENT_SINK
PA_SUBSCRIPTION_EVENT_CHANGE event, I used PyEval_CallFunction to call Python
(pygtk.py) callback.
Then pygtk.py testcase throw segfault, gdb DEBUG shown as below:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I tried to add PyGILState_Ensure() & PyGILState_Release() around
PyEval_CallFunction() for locking/unlocking, it still throw another segfault
shown as below:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

However, the console.py (non-gtk & no g_main_loop) testcase worked happily
without segfault, and I added cgtk.c (Gtk+-2.0 based testcase in C) worked
correctly!

The source code and testcase host on github
https://github.com/xiangzhai/pypulseaudio please someone give me advice, thanks
a lot!
