Crashing in Ubuntu 16.04 when using Steam
Description
Launching PA in Steam while running Ubuntu 16.04 or any other distribution with alsa-lib 1.1.0 or higher causes PA to crash. This is actually due to an issue with the libasound.so.2 library that is distributed with Steam.
Solution
Until this is fixed by Steam, you can use a workaround be starting Steam in Ubuntu 16.04 in the following manner:
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2" steam
For other distributions, change the path to libasound.so.2 accordingly.
