This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14369 "Breezy, updated from repos today. (30/8/05) Multimedia systems selector: test speaker - ok. Test microphone using OSS or ALSA: it hangs and neither the finished button nor the close button in windows border work, so it has to be killed. Testing silence seems to produce a closeable window. I tried to do an strace, but I couldn't locate what executable was being run. Stracing on gnome-control-centre seemed to keep polling the dead application, but no more info. Both my ALSA and OSS sound work fine in and out. ... I get the same result: $ strace gstreamer-properties ... clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, {1126614991, 87827000}) = 0 futex(0x8ee244, FUTEX_WAIT, 4833, {0, 966000}) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) futex(0x8ee1f0, FUTEX_WAKE, 1) = 0 These repeat in an endless succession and g-v-properties never gets back control."
backtrace of the hang: (gdb) bt
+ Trace 62977
Seems like #336528, but now a timeout was added. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 336528 ***
