Hi folks,
Is anyone else seeing regular crashing of applications like pidgin,
mplayer or xine caused by pulseaudio? Did anybody manage to get
useful backtraces out of this?
Thanks,

I just had an issue with rhythmbox locking up while playing through
pulseaudio. It locked only when I switched to VT1 where root was logged
in, and it immediately stopped playing and froze. I've got the
backtrace for all threads, but the top few are below. The rest is
rather long so I won't post it yet. I haven't had rhythmbox do this
before tonight.
Usually it will stop playing through the sink device (it is still trying
to) until returning to the login that is running rhythmbox, but this
time it actually froze and did not keep streaming to the sink.
I have posted several backtraces [1]. I don't know if its PA related info or
not really.
I had posted several of them to a bug [2] tonight with xulrunner/firefox
crashing but there are striking similarities between the xulrunner crashes and
rhythmbox. I don't know if this is related to pulseaudio (not likely) but it
could definitely be causing issues in most of those threaded apps.
After galeon crashed once, as soon as I quit galeon (was attached in gdb)
rhythmbox crashed as well right afterward.
The rhythmbox bt I posted in the last email is there, and another one that
occurred after galeon crashed. The CPU spins 100% as soon as this happens, and
it just looks like there could be some threading issues going on with the latest
rawhide changes. I thought it was xulrunner alone, but it looks likely that the
rhythmbox crash was related. I tried but could not duplicate the timing of this
crash (galeon -> rhythmbox).
When rhythmbox has crashed, opening it again and just starting it playing has
fixed things, its not as if the pulse server is dead. I have already installed
the new gstreamer-0.10.17-1 in koji, but I believe those two backtraces were
just before I installed it.
Most of the debuginfo is missing, but I'll be trying to remedy that and see if
these crashes keep happening.
