[bluez related] pulseaudio crashed with SIGABRT in pa_source_output_push()

[Jeroen T. Vermeulen]

This would have happened somewhere along the path of:
 * Connect to bluetooth headset
 * Open sound prefs to select that headset on input & output
 * Open Google Plus hangout for video chat

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[David Henningsson (diwic)]

From the stack trace, it looks like there are non-complete frames coming in over bluetooth, i e the last bytes do not add up to a full sample.
I'm not very familiar with the bluetooth code in PulseAudio so I'm unsure of how to fix this in the best way.

[Scott Moser (smoser)]

I just saw (I think) this bug, similar recreate.
the result was that I had no audio devices available after the crash.
Ie, in the sound settings there was nothing.
