Just an FYI - you can remove most of the stuff in your advancedsettings.xml:

Code:
11:58:51  49.973907 T:3058095104  NOTICE: Contents of special://profile/advancedsettings.xml are...
                                            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
                                            <advancedsettings>
                                              <destroywindowcontrols>false</destroywindowcontrols>
                                              <fanartres>540</fanartres>
                                              <imageres>256</imageres>
                                              <bginfoloadermaxthreads>2</bginfoloadermaxthreads>
                                              <video>
                                                <defaultplayer>omxplayer</defaultplayer>
                                                <defaultdvdplayer>omxplayer</defaultdvdplayer>
                                              </video>
                                              <audio>
                                                <defaultplayer>omxplayer</defaultplayer>
                                                <streamsilence>false</streamsilence>
                                              </audio>
                                              <network>
                                                <cachemembuffersize>2621440</cachemembuffersize>
                                                <alwaysforcebuffer>0</alwaysforcebuffer>
                                                <limitcacherate>false</limitcacherate>
                                                <curlclienttimeout>30</curlclienttimeout>
                                              </network>
                                              <lookandfeel>
                                                <guires>720</guires>
                                              </lookandfeel>
                                              <samba>
                                                <clienttimeout>30</clienttimeout>
                                              </samba>
                                            </advancedsettings>

You don't need the <video>, <audio>, <lookandfeel> or <samba> sections. Your <audio> setting is going to screw up music playback. <lookandfeel> may cause problems with the GUI, or it may be harmlessly ignored.

Most of your <network> settings could also go (several are no longer supported). See here for details. You're also setting a cache buffer size which is just a fraction of the default (2.6MB vs. 20MB).

<bginfoloadermaxthreads> is no longer supported.

"false" is already the default value for <destroywindowcontrols>.

I would change your advancedsettings.xml to be the following:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<advancedsettings>
  <fanartres>540</fanartres>
  <imageres>256</imageres>
</advancedsettings>

as all the other settings you have are either garbage, already the default, or likely to cause problems by conflicting badly with the recommended system defaults.

As for the crashing, is it always happening at the same point (GUI sound resampling)? Anything in dmesg or "journalctl --no-pager"?

When playing 16bit flac files I noticed that they don't play gapless anymore. Between songs you can hear a slight plopping sound following by a very short hickup 2-3 seconds into the new song. The build from mid Jan played gapless flawlessly. I'm using HDMI. Any suggestions on what could be the cause? Are there any additional settings I need to change?

And you're definitely using paplayer for music (not omxplayer)? I've absolutely no gapless playback problems with 16-bit FLAC files via HDMI. What are your current audio settings?
