[pulseaudio-discuss] pulsaudio 0.9.5 aborts on arm big endian gentoo

[Andrzej Wasowski]

I have made a tiny progress on this (I think).  The last read before the 
crash seems to be done by liboil, then there is SIGILL that seems to meen 
that the application performs an illegal instruction.

This[1] bug report, seems to hint that this is a problem in liboil, that 
it makes incorrect assumptions about the Intel chips.

I do not know how to verify for sure that this is the reason for this 
crash (without running in gdb, which for some reason does not work for 
me), but if it is the case then there is no bug in pulseaudio in this 
case.  Not that I know how to work it around...
