GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 135285
weird things when playing buggy mp3 file
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Gstreamer always crashes with a SIGSEGV when playing this file: http://www.jeacocke.org.uk/2003/ossdev/crashes_gstreamer_0_6_4.mp3 I'm running Debian and gstreamer 0.6.5 isn't in unstable yet so I can't test the file with your new release. Could someone who uses 0.6.5 test and see if this file still crashes gstreamer? This is the command that I executed: stewart@orb:~$ gst-launch filesrc location="crashes_gstreamer_0_6_4.mp3" ! mad ! osssink INFO ( 4734: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.6.4 INFO ( 4734: 0) CPU features: (00000762) MMX SSE 3DNOW MMXEXT INFO ( 4734: 0) registry: loaded global_registry in 0.147870 seconds (/var/lib/gstreamer/0.6/registry.xml) GStreamer-INFO: 0 live buffer(s) GStreamer-INFO: 0 live bufferpool(s) GStreamer-INFO: 0 live event(s) RUNNING pipeline Caught SIGSEGV accessing address 0x8

The mp3 file is buggy. It doesn't crash HEAD. mad doesn't play it fully. ffdec_mp3 skips over the bad parts.
So what am I supposed to do here? Make it magically work? ;). Can I close this?
I left it open, because mad was doing some really dumb stuff with it. Not that I actually wrote that on the bug. Anyway, I think another related bug was recently fixed in mad that may have fixed this one as well. We should keep the file around for testing, but otherwise, consider this closed.
