Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-sound

This may be related to ALSA/Pulseaudio failures that are currently happening repeatedly, causing the sound indicator to enter a strange state. Some Pulse audio output from /var/log/syslog:

Feb 12 21:06:22 gamemachine pulseaudio[1535]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-x11-bell" (argument: "display=:1.0 sample=bell.ogg"): initialization failed.
Feb 12 20:31:00 gamemachine pulseaudio[1388]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail_delay() returned strange values: delay 0 is less than avail 24.
Feb 12 20:31:00 gamemachine pulseaudio[1388]: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

libjack-jackd2-0: installed version 1.9.6~dfsg.1-3ubuntu1, latest version: 1.9.6~dfsg.1-5ubuntu1
libplymouth2: installed version 0.8.2-2ubuntu16, latest version: 0.8.2-2ubuntu17
libdbusmenu-gtk3: installed version 0.3.97-0ubuntu1, latest version: 0.3.97-0ubuntu3
libdbusmenu-glib3: installed version 0.3.97-0ubuntu1, latest version: 0.3.97-0ubuntu3
tzdata: installed version 2011a-1ubuntu1, latest version: 2011b-2
plymouth: installed version 0.8.2-2ubuntu16, latest version: 0.8.2-2ubuntu17

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

I have been running daily updates to stay current with package versions. Last night, something got upgraded and sound started to work on my internal sound card but, although not on my video card based HDMI-out. Along with those changes this crash appeared to stop happening.

Not so sure how this is happening. Branch attached protects against Null strings being added to the g_variant_builder, just to be safe ...
