Blaming gstreamer...

Err in fact I was trying to start playback without having reconnected my external USB sound card (set default in Gnome) ... And the app just crashed.

Comment 4 Jan Schmidt 2007-02-27 17:43:38 UTC

Which release of GStreamer and gst-plugins-base is this with? Can you still reproduce it?

It sounds like poor handling of an error case ("my soundcard disappeared") somewhere.

Comment 5 harrold.the.barrel 2007-03-01 08:18:59 UTC

I completely reinstalled my computer lately, so that's pretty hard to tell ... But I guess the bug would still be the same. I'm using ubuntu edgy 64 bits, and the release of gstreamer I'm currently using is 0.10 (though several 0.8 packages are selected). gst-plugin-base is not installed (at least Synaptic doesn't mention it at all).

Hope it'll be of some help

Comment 6 Jan Schmidt 2007-03-01 16:50:41 UTC

In Ubuntu, the gst-plugins-base module is packaged as gstreamer0.10-plugins-base

Any chance you could post the exact versions you've got? I think 0.10.10-1ubuntu2 is the current Edgy version of gstreamer itself, and base should be around 0.10.10 somewhere.

Comment 7 harrold.the.barrel 2007-03-01 17:49:17 UTC

Well here they are :
  - gstreamer (it's actually the libgstreamer package) : 0.10.10-1ubuntu1
  - gstreamer0.10-plugins-base : 0.10.10-1ubuntu1

Comment 8 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-05-09 10:10:02 UTC

Does this still happen with Ubuntu Feisty / Gstreamer 0.10.12 ?

Comment 9 harrold.the.barrel 2007-05-09 11:23:48 UTC

No, I haven't noticed anything that seems linked with that.
But now I got another problem : some audio files (always the same btw) make rhythmbox crash :s ... I thinking of starting a new bug report :D

Comment 10 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-05-09 13:15:44 UTC

> No, I haven't noticed anything that seems linked with that.

Okay, thanks for the update. Will close as OBSOLETE for now then. If it's still a problem, I'm sure we'll get new reports.

That'd be great, thanks!
