It seems, that it was a hardwareproblem. My Laptopscreen got  horizontal
lines and startet flickering around. So i dismantled my whole laptop and
build it together again.

Now, the flickering and the lines are gone. Seemd it was a loose contact...

And now pavucontrol starts also in wayland without segfault.

The bug can be closed.

But the question is, why segfaults it in wayland, but not in xorg??? How
is this possible, that a loose contact can segfault a program in
wayland, and not in xorg?
