Created attachment 141678 [details] An example of freeze With pre-3.2.6 from today I get a freeze. I exchanged with Yannick a few IM texts, and when I quit, ekiga does not finishes (I do not rememeber if it freezes/responsiveToKbd too or not). It appeared twice, so I attache two files.

I notice that in both cases, ekiga seems to be playing a sound event when you quit.
Created attachment 141682 [details] do not close properly after using txt messaging I had it too. I've 2 bt too, here is the first one.

Wouldn't it be pulseaudio ?
I had the freeze and I do not use pulse audio.
Can you reproduce it ?
The problem Eugen, is that your backtrace indicates you quit.
Yes, as I wrote, I press Quit, but ekiga does not finishes. I need to make tests again with Yannick to reproduce the problem...
It tries to destroy the AudioCore. But the AudioCore can not be destroyed before the sound event has been played. The sound event never finishes !? I don't understand. It is quite similar to the issue Yannick has with pulse audio but I do not understand what happens.
This may be a case of deadlock in SysV semaphores, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-list/2010-March/msg00006.html (try whether the posted script helps).
As this is very likely not a bug in Ekiga, closing it and adding information at http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Troubleshooting#Freeze_when_using_ALSA.
