When using amarok, while the volume plugin is loaded, the panel crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run amarok 2. go to the next song 3. panel crash This is some info I got from running the panel inside gdb: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread -1217997136 (LWP 20745)] 0xb7476587 in snd_mixer_elem_empty () from /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 I'm running xfce 4.2.1
Additional: I'm running Gentoo Linux, xfce 4.2.1 is in ~x86 on time of writing (but 4.2.0 in x86 had the same crash). I use Alsa 1.0.8
The bug is solved. The problem lies in the combination of alsa-1.0.8 and kde-3.4.0, just downgrade to alsa-1.0.7 and you're fine. Cheers all!
notice bug #855 though
Last update: I asked other people to confirm the bug for me, and it appears that even for people without kde-3.4.0, the panel crashes. So, I guess the problem only lies in alsa-1.0.8 and 1.0.9 ...
