<pre>Works for me using custom PA 9.0 arch pkgs with your patch applied, thanks for
the fix.
If I understand correctly, the current solution requires the fix to be applied
in the 32-bit client libs (libpulsecommon)? If that's true, this could be a
small problem for the 10.0 memfd default: Default 9.0 seems to compile memfd
and use it client-side (unless explicitly disabled in client.conf) when the
server requests it (which the 10.0 server will do by default).
Ideally, this shouldn't be a problem as the client can be updated to 10.0 like
the server, but bundling/snapshotting/embedding libs obviously happens in
practice (e.g. steam, games). As of right now, this is mostly a theoretical
issue because the legacy 32-bit clients I'm aware of use <9.0 anyway and
therefore don't have memfd at all. But until a fixed 9.1 or 10.0 is released,
faulty 9.0 clients have time to get adopted in such bundles.
That is, if I got this right, it's a little confusing and I might have missed
something. :-)</pre>
