It has started up twice. I've messed around with settings, but nothing is consistent, and can't see any reason why it worked twice....
Not a complete newbie, but not a programmer type either. It almost seems an issue with the swap space, but not sure...

maybe try opening a support ticket here:

That's odd... It looks like it's segfaulting in PulseAudio... Do you actually have working sound?

Pulse Audio is basically crap >.>

remove it and keep alsa as default and maybe AOSS for future needs for other stuff
