Try this patch: Well, it turned out to be a lot more complicated than that. Alienarena uses OpenAL-soft, which dlopens portaudio if it is present. Portaudio is compiled with support for jack, and asks jack if there is a valid client available to use. On my system (default F-12), there isn't, so the jack call returns NULL. Unfortunately, when that jack function which checks on the client is run, it spawns a new thread, which wasn't getting closed. After portaudio finished its check, openal-soft dlclosed it, with that thread that jack spawned still alive. This caused the segfault. Your original suggestion merely delayed the issue, because openal was being dlopened later instead of loading on initial execution. Ray Strode helped me debug this, and I've updated jack with the fix for this. Patch is here: http://trac.jackaudio.org/ticket/140 Thanks to all who helped out here. ~spot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
