------- Bug created by bug-buddy at 2006-06-03 19:56 -------


Unknown version 1.4.0 in product totem.  Setting version to "1.4.x".

Comment 1 Christian Kirbach 2006-06-04 10:35:58 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful at all in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

This is a crash in ALSA, not Totem. Please attach the the output of Totem when launched on the command-line.

Comment 5 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-06-05 23:06:52 UTC

I'm getting the following assertion error:

totem: pcm.c:890: snd_pcm_state: Assertion `pcm' failed.

Comment 6 Christian Kirbach 2006-06-08 15:10:56 UTC

Bastian: this is not a Gnome problem then, but an ALSA problem, I assume.

Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2006-06-19 21:59:20 UTC

Yes, it looks like an ALSA problem.
Ricardo, can you replicate the crash at will?

Comment 8 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-06-19 22:52:22 UTC

Yes, it occurs after I pause a playing video every few times.

Comment 10 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-09-15 10:11:56 UTC

I note this bug is still extant. Should it be reported to ALSA? What is the next step?

Comment 11 Christian Kirbach 2006-09-15 14:21:57 UTC

a good trace with debugging symbols would be of great help. please see Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces

please install alsa and xine debugging packages

Comment 13 Christian Kirbach 2006-09-16 16:18:35 UTC

last trace seems to be useful, thanks. Yes this should be reported to the ALSA people.

Marking this report NOTGNOME.

Comment 14 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-09-16 16:57:47 UTC

It's not clear what exactly should be reported to the ASLA team. Will they be satisfied with just a stack trace?

Comment 15 Christian Kirbach 2006-09-19 13:59:41 UTC

you can point in their bug report to this bug report which already contains quite some useful information.

you should start your report by describing how you can trigger the crash and by pasting the latest stack trace there.

Comment 16 Ronald Bultje 2006-09-19 14:02:57 UTC

This is a xine bug, not alsa. xine calls snd_pcm_state(pcm=0x0), and alsa asserts on the prerequisite pcm != NULL, which is kinda harsh for those of us used to g_return_val_if_fail(), but nevertheless completely valid.

Comment 17 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-09-19 15:15:57 UTC

Created alsa-lib bug report here:

https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=2456

Comment 18 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-09-29 09:35:15 UTC

The ALSA devs just closed the above bug as "won't fix." They said "An application should not pass NULL (invalid) pointer to the snd_pcm_state() function."

Can we mark this bug as still outstanding and remove the NOTGNOME flag?

Comment 19 Bastien Nocera 2006-09-29 09:39:57 UTC

Which is what Ronald said in comment 16

> Can we mark this bug as still outstanding and remove the NOTGNOME flag?

No, it's a bug in xine-lib, not in Totem.

Comment 20 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-09-29 09:50:59 UTC

(In reply to comment #19)
> No, it's a bug in xine-lib, not in Totem.

If you could explain why you think so in the ALSA bug report above this might help resolve the stalemate.

Comment 21 Ricardo Gladwell 2006-09-29 09:52:33 UTC

Apologies, ignore my last remark. I will report this bug with the Xine project.
