Hi John,
maybe we can investigate also with gdb compiling pavucontrol with debug
symbols:
$ apt-get source pavucontrol && cd pavucontrol-1.0
$ export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nostrip noopt"
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us
$ sudo dpkg -i ../pavucontrol_1.0-1_i386.deb
$ gdb pavucontrol
and attach here gdb output.
