[pulseaudio-discuss] Help - Pulseaudio: Failed to handle SIGBUS

[Nico Sprang]

Hi,

Im fighting with a problem with pulseaudio which randomly appears.
I can start and use pulseaudio without problems. Sometimes when I
restart pulseaudio it wont start anymore.
Then I get the message "Failed to handle SIGBUS".
The only solution I found right now is to restart my whole vserver.
What does "Failed to handle SIGBUS" actually mean? How can I get
Pulseaudio working without a full server restart?

On the bottom of this email you can see the pulseaudio -v output.
Thanks for you help!

Greetings
Nico
