Comment (by zazdxscf):

 Thanks for applying that patch. (saved me some trouble figuring out how to
 get it to the mail list later on)

 No evidence for that (bit_size == 0) as far as I know, but I just wanted
 to be extra-sure just in case, without thinking too much about it.

 I haven't experienced anymore crashes yet, but I am keeping all software
 as is(not updating anything on my gentoo system) to see if any crashes
 still happen; and full time having youtube music playing(just as I did
 before in fact) in an attempt to give it opportunity to crash. All this
 inside a virtualbox gentoo guest OS, which I should probably mention that
 sometimes(kinda rarely) on boot manages to clock the audio driver wrongly
 and everything sounds slightly low pitched(or is it slowed too?):
 Wrong:
  snd_intel8x0 0000:00:05.0: clocking to 41131
 Right:
  snd_intel8x0 0000:00:05.0: clocking to 48000
 But no crashes happened when it was clocked wrongly, because I would
 restart(shutdown,start) soon in order to fix it.


 The gstavauddec.c  version that I used was latest available (~amd64 and
 amd64 both point to it) media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav 1.4.5-r1 * for
 gentoo no-multilib (not hardened either) (default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-
 multilib) with kernel 4.2.0-rc4 (git)
  * there's no possibility to (easily?) use the git version of gst-plugins-
 libav (there's no -9999 version)

 The ffmpeg version(commit 5bf8590) that I'm (still) testing (with those
 patches on top of it) is:

 I'll give more details if a crash happens again, but honestly(from what I
 can tell so far, after 1 full day of no crashes) I'm quite optimistic that
 it won't. But who knows.
 Thanks!

 PS: I don't know what to do about the potential causes that you mentioned,
 michael, but I will consider them when crashes happen again. Thanks for
 looking into it more deeply.
