By trial and error I found, that PulseAudio only stops with an error,
when 'default-sample-channels' in /usr/local/etc/pulse/daemon.conf is
changed:

default-sample-channels = 2  # works
default-sample-channels = 6  # crashes


With more than 2 channels it breaks with this message:

E: [oss] module-oss.c: pa_read() failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
E: [(null)] source.c: Assertion 'source_set_state(s, PA_SOURCE_IDLE) ==
0' failed at pulsecore/source.c:612, function void
pa_source_put(pa_source *)(). Aborting.


I assume, this is not intended? At least, in 0.9.23 it works.
