pa_stream_writable_size() failed

Same bug happening to me. Only FLAC files can be played. Every other file type (MP3, MPEG etc) causes the player to crash right away with the same "pa_stream_writable_size() failed"

I can confirm this bug, except that for me it fails intemittently, mostly in totem.

This bug was fixed in the package pulseaudio - 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+341-g62bf-0ubuntu1

Intropedro, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log and attach its
resulting verbose log to a new bug report, thanks.
