Look in /etc/profile:

##v2.10 MU: rox crashes with DRI modules. solution:
#export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

That variable was unset due to Chromium unable to properly display Chinese and other Asian characters if it is set.
I'll think about it, but probably won't set it globally, just set
it when run 'pavucontrol', as the guys have suggested.
