Summary: pulseaudio does not close on OSX

Initial Comment:
Pausing / exiting an OpenNX session does not close the helper process 'pulseaudio'. When I later try to open the session back up, it crashes (report attached). Manually killing the process 'pulseaudio' allows me to connect without crashing.

Crash occurs after hitting 'Login', progress report gets to "Preparing multimedia service..." before blowing up.

Message:
Apparently user logging isn't configured on your machine. You can enable it
by using the following commands

sudo su -
echo "user.* /var/log/user.log" >> /etc/syslog.conf
launchctl stop com.apple.syslogd

Verified the environment variable is set properly, crashes do not seem to
create that log file.

Damn. 

Recreated the problem, but /var/log/user.log doesn't seem to exist. How
picky is the plist file format?

Message:
Re-uploaded the crash report without spaces in the name of the file, which
might have been the problem.

After restarting my machine, I have been unable to recreate the problem.
Problem solved, I suppose? If the crash report provides no further insight,
feel free to close the ticket - I'll re-file if I encounter the problem
again.

So much for my ~35d uptime.

Message:
The "not closing" part is intended. So no error there. However when loggin
in a second time, OpenNX should detect the already runnin process and reuse
it. It does exactly that on my virtualized OSX 10.6.8. Somehow, I'm unable
do download your attached crash-report. All I get is a SourceForge page
saying "Could not get ArtifactFile filename".

Could you please run OpenNX with full tracing enabled.

Here is how to do this:

1. Create a (or edit) the file $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist (It is
actually a text-file, *not* a plist)
2. Write the following into that file (if there are already lines in there,
just add the WXTRACE = all: inside the curly braces.)

{
  WXTRACE = all;
}

3. Log out/Log in
4. Verify that the variable is set: Open a terminal and execute:
    echo $WXTRACE
    this should show the word "all"
5. Do the same like you did before (login with OpenNX twice)
6 The resulting trace can be found in the file /var/log/user.log you can
extract it by running th following command:

grep opennx /var/log/user.log > some-textfile.txt

Attach this file to this bug (hopefulle this can be downloaded then).

Tanks
