Comment (by thrash.dude@…):

 Happened to me as well. This is the use case I used -
 Previously ran MythTV on Slackware (no pulse audio), installed Arch and
 set up MythTV (has pulse audio) on the same host.

 Backend remembers audio settings, running MythTV on Slackware segfaults
 because of the stored setting of pulse audio. Considering Slackware does
 not include Pulse audio, MythTV built on Slackware without pulse audio,
 MythTV segfaults same as OP.

 How to fix --
 Run mythfrontend with --override-setting to set audio to Alsa, then you
 can enter the settings screen and change the audio preference.
