Binary package hint: pulseaudio

This bug regards this patch in pulseaudio:
http://git.0pointer.de/?p=pulseaudio.git;a=commitdiff;h=4f5e2b745ea357e2b5c815ff33a556505a7d1f18

The variable n_waiting_for_accept never gets properly initialised, and due to compiler optimisations has an initial value of ie: 1651076143, *not* 0.

So in the function pa_threaded_mainloop_signal() the condition while (m->n_waiting_for_accept > 0) will never be resolved as -
1) Pulse Audio is waiting for 1651076143 accepts before continuing. and -
2) The Application/Library has sent an accept, but is still waiting for Pulse Audio to respond before it continues.

This patch seemed to be an attempt to resolve it, but bug still persists:
