Upgrading to 8.2 didn't solve anything. But after I installed ccache I decided to recompile all my installed ports in the hope that it solved my problems. After recompiling all my ports (1000 ports, including openoffice). The problem still persisted. But after reading another thread I removed pulse audio support from libcanberra and this solved the problem. I first removed gstreamer support as well but this does not cause the problem.
