Title: Qemu VM start kills Pulseaudio Status in QEMU: New Bug description: When I start a VM (start command below) in Qemu version >2.5, it kills Pulseaudio (paired with a huge lagspike) in ~4/5 cases. Using version 2.5 build from GIT, it works fine. This also happens when building from the current GIT master (ebedf0f). Host: Freshly installed Antergos Arch Linux 4.10.3-1-ARCH Intel I7-5930K ASUS X99 Deluxe II latest UEFI GTX 770 Guest: Windows 10 x64 AMD RX480 via VFIO This also happened on my last install (Ubuntu GNOME 16.10). Start command: QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa \ QEMU_PA_SAMPLES=4096 \ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -serial none \ -parallel none \ -nodefconfig \ -nodefaults \ -name win10 \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host,check,kvm=off \ -smp 12,sockets=1,cores=6,threads=2 \ -m 16G \ -mem-prealloc \ -device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci \ -device usb-host,vendorid=0x05ac,productid=0x0205,bus=xhci.0 \ -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio \ -net bridge,vlan=0,br=bridge0 \ -object iothread,id=iothread0 \ -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread0,drive=drive0 \ -drive file="$DISK",format=raw,if=none,cache=none,aio=native,id=drive0 \ -boot order=c,menu=on \ -rtc base=utc \ -nographic \ -k de \ -monitor stdio \ -soundhw hda \ -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.0,addr=09.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on \ -device vfio-pci,host=02:00.1,addr=09.1 \ -device vfio-pci,host=04:00.0,addr=07.0,multifunction=on,id=usbcontroller When it kills Pulseaudio, I see these errors in the Qemu console: pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed pulseaudio: Reason: Bad state pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed pulseaudio: Reason: Bad state pulseaudio: set_source_output_volume() failed ... many more of these ... The journal shows that PulseAudio is killed: Mär 19 13:12:42 hp-desktop systemd[530]: pulseaudio.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL Mär 19 13:12:42 hp-desktop systemd[530]: pulseaudio.service: Unit entered failed state.

I've also captured a PulseAudio debug log when this happens, but it does not contain anything interesting (no warnings or errors), which makes sense in case of SIGKILL. In DMESG I get some errors too, but they seem to be just symptoms (but Im just guessing...); 00:14.0 is the USB controller my DAC is connected to: [ 4372.389051] usb 3-9.4: current rate 4500480 is different from the runtime rate 44100 [ 4372.509163] usb 3-9.4: current rate 4500480 is different from the runtime rate 44100 [ 4372.559104] usb 3-9.4: current rate 4500480 is different from the runtime rate 44100 [ 4373.652557] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR unknown event type 37 [ 4373.712382] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 1 comp_code 36 [ 4373.715714] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Looking for event-dma 0000000745da7f00 trb-start 0000000745da7f10 trb-end 0000000745da7f10 seg-start 0000000745da7000 seg-end 0000000745da7ff0 [ 4373.719055] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 1 comp_code 1 [ 4373.722381] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Looking for event-dma 0000000745da7f00 trb-start 0000000745da7f10 trb-end 0000000745da7f10 seg-start 0000000745da7000 seg-end 0000000745da7ff0 [ 4373.725753] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 4 comp_code 13 [ 4373.725759] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Looking for event-dma 000000073c5a51a0 trb-start 000000073c5a51b0 trb-end 000000073c5a51b0 seg-start 000000073c5a5000 seg-end 000000073c5a5ff0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1674117/+subscriptions
