Sound method is set to Automatic here. I should mention I have this issue since no more than a couple of weeks or so, before that Pidgin never crashed. I didn't changed anything in Pidgin recently.

Dear Ari, thanks for the reply. 2015-03-27 2:07 GMT+01:00 Ari Pollak a...@debian.org: J udging from all the messages in the log about JACK, my first inclination would be to purge all JACK-related packages from your system, and make sure your gstreamer and pulseaudio settings don't point to JACK. If you don't want to do any of that, you can try disabling sounds in Pidgin. Just to try, I installed jackd and run jackd -d dummy at startup, in this way Pidgin never crashed but there was no sound from it. Then I removed it. The only JACK related package I have now is libjack-jackd2, but it's requested by other packages. I checked Pulseaudio settings with pavucontrol, there is no reference to JACK in output devices. How can I check gstreamer configuration without gstreamer-properties, so without pulling down gnome-media package and its 138 MiB of dependencies (I'm running KDE)?
