  [Impact]
  pulseaudio daemon crashes, interrupting sound output/input.

  [Test Case]
  Theoretical test case (crash does not happen for all users):
  1. Find some headphones and/or microphone. Ensure you do not wear the
     headphones during the test as it may be loud.
  2. Set audio output/input volumes to maximum.
  3. Unplug and replug the headphones/microphone.
  4. Check that that pulseaudio process is still running, with a start time
     older than when you began this test case.

  [Regression Potential]
  Low. This SRU affects the pulseaudio daemon only so the worst case would be loss of sound output/input. The same patches have been released to
  17.10 for a month already and zero regressions of the crashes have
  occurred worldwide since then.

  [Other Info]
  Debdiff patch is attached to the most prolific bug 1539209.

  [Original Description]

  This error is there when i get back to the computer after a while of
  no use, and at login after restart. haven't seen this error while the
  system is "active"/in use.

  I have been unable to provoke the error to come.

  I'm not sure it is related, but when i plug in a headset, the audio volume goes through the roof, and a loud (painfully so) scratching sound is coming from the headset until i press Vol+. Vol- does nothing till i have pressed up at least once.
  But the bug report thing does not pop up when the sound issue is there.
