gstreamer-properties crashes when testing esdsrc/alsasrc

start gstreamer-properties. Set "Default Source - Input" to ALSA Click "Test" Testing box comes up briefly, then program segfaults. Output on console: ** (gstreamer-properties:9369): WARNING **: Unrecoverable syntax error while parsing pipeline ** (gstreamer-properties:9369): WARNING **: Unrecoverable syntax error while parsing pipeline ** (gstreamer-properties:9369): WARNING **: Unrecoverable syntax error while parsing pipeline Segmentation fault With Default Source set to ESD, program hangs with testing box on screen; have to kill the process. OSS, Silence, and Custom ("silence") work ok (Test box comes up and progressbar scans back and forth, no audio is output - I assume that's ok).
Gross. On two separate boxes w/ SUSE 9.1 and two separate GNOME 2.6 builds (one from ximian, one from suse), I'm getting the same two separate problems here: * choose esd as default source, hit test, then OK, get hang. * choose alsa as default source, hit test, get crash:

The alsa one is a bug in libalsa, IIRC. There's a bug in ALSA bugzilla about this. Basically, libalsa loves asserting on perfectly valid error conditions that the application cannot really do much about... Should look into the ESD one, though.
The ALSA bug has been fixed in the mean time.
bug #160202 is newer (uses gstreamer CVS and gnome-media 2.9.2) errors changed a bit but are still there (alsasrc and esdsrc) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 160202 ***
