Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Fiddling around in steam settings works as expected. However, if one kills pulseaudio server and restarts it, next time going to settings will crash steam.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start steam
  2. Kill pulseaudio (pulseaudio -k) and restart it, if it doesn't automatically
  3. Go to steam settings (Steam -> Settings)
  4. Observe crash
