[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#500696: pulseaudio: Assertion 'pthread_setspecific(t->key, userdata) == 0'

[Daniel Chen]

This symptom most often is triggered by an application (not
PulseAudio) doing bad things with libxml2's xmlCleanupParser(). This
is documented at
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/beware-of-xmlCleanupParser and
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/beware-of-rsvg-term.html

Will's symptom was a bug in empathy that has since been fixed.
