Qemu VM start kills Pulseaudio
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 \

-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.
Mär 19 13:12:42 hp-desktop systemd[530]: pulseaudio.service: Failed with result 'signal'.
Mär 19 13:12:42 hp-desktop systemd[530]: pulseaudio.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Mär 19 13:12:42 hp-desktop systemd[530]: Stopped Sound Service.
Mär 19 13:12:42 hp-desktop systemd[530]: Starting Sound Service...
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:
