Hello.
I am still trying to valgrind pulseaudio. The previous attempt yielded
nothing about the bug that I was trying to debug, but found a Bluetooth
issue. This time, I thought that maybe some memory pool or flist was
causing valgrind to mistakenly consider the samples to be properly
initialized. And found PULSE_MEMPOOL_DISABLE as a way to disable this
(potentially valgrind-unfriendly) pool. Thus:
PULSE_MEMPOOL_DISABLE=1 valgrind --trace-children=yes --db-attach=yes
./src/pulseaudio
In the other terminal, I entered this:
pactl load-module module-null-sink
Result:
E: [memcheck-amd64-] memblock.c: Assertion 'b' failed at
pulsecore/memblock.c:486, function pa_memblock_acquire(). Aborting.

I have tried to apply the attached "obvious" patch, but instead got this:
