Bug#763524: socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 5.0-6
Severity: normal

After an upgrade of some packages last night, logging out and logging
in again, I got the following error in /var/log/syslog:

[...]

and the same error several times today. VLC could no longer work.

There was a suspicious old pulseaudio process running. I killed it,
logged out and logged in again. This solved the problem, but this
problem shouldn't have been there in the first place.
