From James log (arnauds log does not show the error) :

( 600.740| 0.002) W: [alsa-sink] memblockq.c: Can_push: l = -2134034528, end = 12529, bq->read_index = 0, bq->write_index = 140542054157432, bq->maxlength = 140542062687863

All right, so bq->maxlength and bq->write_index are way too high and l should never be less than zero. This could be a random memory overwrite but it also looks a bit suspicious that write_index and maxlength are about the same.

James, are you familiar with gdb? Or should I add more debug prints and ask for new logs from you? Assuming we both have the time to try to nail this bug down.
