Comment:

 From a quick glance at the backtrace, it looks like
 AudioOutputBase::SetAudiotime() calls
 AudioOutputALSA::GetBufferedOnSoundcard(), which checks to make sure
 pcm_handle != NULL, but it seems like some other thread changes pcm_handle
 to NULL before the call to snd_pcm_delay(pcm_handle, &delay); (line 402),
 where the crash occurs.  In [22432], AudioOutputALSA::GetSupportedRates()
 was added and has 2 sections where pcm_handle is set to NULL if there's a
 failure (re?)opening the device (which may be happening when it tries to
 open the device at 192kHz?).  Perhaps it needs some locking?
