pulseaudio crashed with SIGABRT in pa_memimport_free()

[David Ramalho]

Sound crashed after changing the volume, but seems random, hasn't done it again. Might be related to instalation of pulseaudio-equalizer, even if I do notice the sound widget/icon (gnome-shell) restarting at times.

[Taras Prokopenko (tpro)]

random crash, no correlations with actions (right now I have not enough crash events to see what causes this)
