Steps to reproduce:
1. run amarok
2. try to play a song
3. 


Stack trace:


Other information:
gstreamer runs fine from the command line as well as from rhythmbox, but trying
to play any song crashes amarok.

the error displayed is:

(g_value_get_pointer): assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_POINTER (value)' failed

Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2004-12-12 00:11:02 UTC 
Can you post a backtrace of the crash? The above warning is non-fatal and will
not crash amarok. It's a warning for a bug while handoff'ing a buffer in
identity. It's fixed in CVS. It does not cause crashes.
Comment 3 Leo Franchi 2004-12-12 07:06:30 UTC 
i can't post a backtrace. the reason is that when i run 'gdb amarokapp' and the
application crashes, gdb reports:

Program terminated with signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb) bt
No stack.
(gdb)
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2004-12-12 09:48:41 UTC 
That sucks. ;-). Can you ask the amarok people to help you debugging and get a
good backtrace out of it? It's hard to debug without...
Comment 5 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2004-12-21 15:01:44 UTC 
Markey suggests trying to compile amaroK with ./configure --enable-debug=full,
and try again to get a backtrace. Could you try that Leo?
Comment 6 Leo Franchi 2004-12-22 22:58:46 UTC 
The output that i pasted was produced by --enable-debug=full.

anyway, i managed to solve this problem by 1) completely uninstalling amarok and
gstreamer (that means manually deleting all leftover dirs) and then installing
both gstreamer and then amarok from a fresh CVS.

thanks,
leo
