           Summary: pulseaudio -k leads to systemd-journald crashes
        QA Contact: pulseaudio-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: hp4everything at googlemail.com
          Hardware: ARM
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: daemon
           Product: PulseAudio

I'm trying to run pulseaudio on a headless Raspberry Pi platform with most
recent packages:

ArchLinuxArm OS : Linux 3.10.28-1-ARCH 
pulseaudio 4.0-6

Starting and stopping pulseaudio via systemd this regularly leads to
system-freezes during shutdown caused by systemd-journald crashes.

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.

I think this is also an issue for systemd-developers because it should be able
to handle any misbehaviour when shutting down daemons.

But pulseaudio should also provide a shutdown without causing any troubles.

Console-listing:

~ >ps -aux | grep systemd-journald
root      1835  0.0  1.4  50616  6752 ?        Ss   18:05   0:00

~ >pulseaudio --start
~ >pulseaudio -k
~ >ps -aux | grep systemd-journald

~ >pulseaudio --start

~ >ps -aux | grep systemd-journald

hape      2041  0.0  0.2   4212   988 pts/0    S+   18:50   0:00 grep
systemd-journald

As can be seen the systemd-journald has been restarted after the second
sequence.
