[Lorenzo Sutton]

Package: gwc
Version: 0.21.17~dfsg0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Even setting the audio device to 'default' or 'hw:0,0' as suggested to
use ALSA, gwc crashes when trying to play a file with the following
message:

Assertion 'p' failed at pulse/simple.c:275, function pa_simple_write(). Aborting.
Aborted

Lorenzo.
