------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2004-12-03 10:29 ------- Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other". Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "rhythmbox". Setting to default milestone for this product, '---' The original reporter of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the person who moved it here, unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org. Previous reporter was valdyn@packeis.de. Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Are you using the latest gst-plugins version ? (0.8.8) This is a gstreamer problem anyway, so reassigning.
I will need debug symbols for a useful backtrace.
It is gst-plugins version 0.8.6 from debian sid. gstreamer-properties crashes just the same when testing alsasink, if the used alsa device is dmix. Alsaplayer works fine. Backtrace below, with ( not all ) debugging symbols enabled. Hope it helps. flo -------- valdyn@master:/usr/lib$ gdb `which rhythmbox` GNU gdb 6.3-debian Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Ah, I know that bug. Update to CVS of libalsa. It's a libalsa bug. Fefore has pushed updates with the fix in them. Also see ALSA bug 643, it has the patch attached. Applying that to libalsa 1.0.6 or 1.0.7 will make it work. Marking as not-gnome.
works - thanks alot for the quick reaction and help :) flo
