Thanks for the newest patch! The change from
sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) to LINE_MAX + 1 works nice here. No core
dumps any more and sound via pulseaudio is working again :)

Hmm, possible, but unlikely. This worked pretty good with version 1.1.13
and as I wrote, gain control was set in the middle (100%). But now, with
pulseaudio enabled again, there is not problem with damaged sound
quality any more.

No, it also fails original MD5 checksum with deinstall/reinstall within
2.0.3.
