I can see Debian bug #491097 <URL:http://bugs.debian.org/491097>/Launchpad bug #258797 <URL:https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258797> on my system. The bug results in audacious filling its log file with the following message until the disk is full: tuple_get_int: assertion `tuple != NULL' failed While doing this, it uses 100 % of the CPU time. Patch is in upstream repository <URL:http://hg.atheme.org/audacious/rev/2d69832b7136> and will be part of audacious-1.5.2, which has not yet been released. The patch fixes the issue for me. I suggest adding the patch to the portage tree, and creating an audacious-1.5.1-r2. A patch for the ebuild file is simple: --- media-sound/audacious/audacious-1.5.1-r1.ebuild 2008-12-13 18:36:25.000000000 +0000 +++ media-sound/audacious/audacious-1.5.1-r2.ebuild 2009-01-27 12:51:01.000000000 +0000 @@ -39,6 +39,8 @@ cd "${S}" # Bug #228365, patch by Matti Hamalainen <ccr@tnsp.org> epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV}-commandline-options.patch" + # Debian bug #491097, patched in audacious-1.5.2 <URL:http://hg.atheme.org/audacious/rev/2d69832b7136> + epatch "${FILESDIR}/${PV}-bugzilla-42.patch" } src_compile() {
This has been addressed during Audacious 2.0 development. Please unmask the alpha1 developer preview that is now in portage to confirm that this has been resolved.
