Greetings,
I just notice a bug that did not occur in the past (but I cannot tell you in which FMOD Studio version it got introduced)…
When attempting a setOutput(FMOD\_OUTPUTTYPE\_PULSEAUDIO) on a Linux system without PulseAudio, instead of returning an error (i.e. not FMOD\_OK) like it used to do in the past, FMOD Studio (v2.02.05 patch 1) now crashes with the following stderr output:
`Assertion 'm' failed at ../src/pulse/mainloop.c:790, function pa_mainloop_wakeup(). Aborting`

I have reproduced this issue as you have described, it looks like this came in at 2.02.03.
I have passed this on to the dev team to fix in a future release, thanks for letting us know!

Yep, it’s now fixed in FMOD Studio v2.02.07. Thank you !
