Thank you for report. Relevant links. Upstream bug report: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11103 Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/458071 Novel bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/458071 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/458071 And according to gstreamer upstream this should be fixed in gst-plugins-good-0.10.23. Could you confirm this, please?
As of daily updates, gst-plugins-good (0.10.23) were installed. Pidging is running for about one hour without crash. I will write down the results in 2 hours and 45 minutes, then I leave work and close pidgin.
@gstreamer,gnome: guys is it possible to stabilize media-libs/gst-plugins-good-0.10.23 to avoid this crash in stable?
While testing for about four hours, pidgin did not crash. Thus I mark this bug as fixed.
No, this requires stabilization of gst-plugins-good-0.10.23 and gst-plugins-bad-0.10.19 and 20 other packages as well, and they have been in the tree only for 3 days, and some that are required to be stabilized in tandem even aren't there yet (will finish that today). I raised awareness of this bug in the stabilization bug and gave the option to arch teams to skip gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.22 stabilization, but they stabilized it nevertheless. Options are: * If it's a regression in 0.10.22, and 0.10.21 works fine, we can see about reverting stable keywords from 0.10.22, and have 0.10.21 in stable until 0.10.23 time comes * We do a big patchset to gst-plugins-pulse that includes all changes of 0.10.23 in a 0.10.22-r1 version, test that, and quick stabilize it * We ignore common guidelines about stabilization, and basically zero-day stabilize gst-plugins-good-0.10.23, gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.23, gst-plugins-bad-0.10.19 and all the media-plugins/gst-plugins-* that inherit gst-plugins-good or gst-plugins-bad eclasses (a total of about 32 packages). This bug was initially discussed in bug 329361
> * If it's a regression in 0.10.22, and 0.10.21 works fine, we can see about reverting stable keywords from 0.10.22, and have 0.10.21 in stable until 0.10.23 time comes ^^ To avoid confusion, I'm talking about gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.22 stable keywords here, not gst-plugins-good. In Gentoo the pulse plugins are in gst-plugins-pulse package, built out of gst-plugins-good tarball. gst-plugins-good package doesn't install the pulse plugins.

Better one patch to address this issue... Relevant information from upstream bug report: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/838#comment:4 According to Sebastian Droge (a GST guy), this should be fixed in the latest gst-plugins-good. He said: 0.10.23 should have this fixed... relevant commits are e69ba0f94f475975cfa33d651a56fc1567c0238b 4a492f2c8a4dc3b00773ac222146344aea311a5a a8103facc59b9dde07ee95d026c3fd2323e278bb > * We ignore common guidelines about stabilization, and basically zero-day > stabilize This may cause even more problems... Probably if taking above commits will not fix the problem it's better to go with 0.10.21.

It states likelyhood, not close to completely sure. But yes, likely a regression then. > > * We do a big patchset to gst-plugins-pulse that includes all changes of > > 0.10.23 in a 0.10.22-r1 version, test that, and quick stabilize it > > Heh, then what will be the difference between 0.10.23 and 0.10.22-r1? Its configure wouldn't require gst-plugins-good-0.10.23, and in tandem stabilization of that, gst-plugins-bad-0.10.19 (plugin moves), and all their respective split plugins (we can inspect that a specific plugin code is fine with older gstreamer core/base as well, but can't do that for all of the splits). > Better > one patch to address this issue...

So other commits aren't necessary? commit 5332287e2d8f9dc7b32da0f6618a0730bd98513a deals directly with PA mainloop handling as well, for example, I doubt the other ones apply without this. I guess best is to just grab all the 6 patches in 0.10.23, roll a 0.10.22-r1 and fast stabilize that. Are you able to test the result? I don't actually have a pulse setup...
Bumped .22 to -r1 with the following patches (the last is from post-.23). 5332287 pulsesink: Create and free the PA mainloop in NULL->READY/READY->NULL e69ba0f pulsesink: Allocate and free the custom clock in NULL<->READY 4a492f2 pulsesrc: Allocate/free PA mainloop during state changes a8103fa pulse: Don't lock the mainloop in NULL f5057a9 pulsesink: Post provide-clock message on the bus if the clock appears/disappears If this fixes the issue with Pidgin as well, we can fast-stabilise this.
Tom-Steve, could you test pidgin with media-plugins/gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.22-r1? If it works for you we'll be able to fast stabilize it and finally fix pidgin in stable tree. Thank you.
media-plugins/gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.22-r1 are stable. This bug should be fixed.
Sorry for the late answer ... lots to do (mathematics studies) As of daily using and testing pidgin in combination with media-plugins/gst-plugins-pulse-0.10.23 I can verify that it works.
