Bug description:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio

pulseaudio reliably segfaults on my machine (hardy)

procedure to recreate
start a pulseaudio server with the default configuration

define a bluetooth device in .asoundrc
pcm.headset_hw {
  type bluetooth
  device 00:00:00:00:00:00
  profile "hifi"
}

ctl.headset {
   type bluetooth
   device 00:00:00:00:00:00
}

pcm.headset {
   type plug
   slave.pcm "headset_hw"
}

pactl load-module module-alsa-sink device=headset
start pavucontrol to set the headset as the default output
start mplayer -ao pulse
go back to pavucontrol and swap the stream to the default hw,0 soundcard
it will give an error because it looses connection and dmesg will show a
segfault

history of dmesg, i tried multiple times
