Bug 41614 – "Danger Mouse" album locks up XMMS

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jim Faulkner 2004-02-14 18:29:41 UTC]

The "Danger Mouse - The Grey Album" MP3s that were recently publicized on slashdot and are available for download here:
http://www.illegal-art.org/audio/grey.html
lock up XMMS.  When any of those MP3s are loaded, XMMS freezes up and starts using 100% of the CPU.  I have tried this on two different systems with two different sets of CFLAGS, and the lockup has occured on both machines.

MPlayer plays these MP3s just fine.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. download one of the MP3s from the download site
2. start xmms
3. load the mp3 in xmms

Actual Results:  
xmms locks up and uses 100% of the CPU

Expected Results:  
start playing the music. :)

what output plugin are you using for mp3s in xmms? mpg123? mad?  Check Preferences->Output plugins.

Also, please provide the output of 'emerge info'

err input plugin...

I am using mpg123 on both machines.

Here is the "emerge info" output from the first computer:

Ok, I've verified this with xmms-1.2.9-r1.  What version of xmms are you using?

[Comment 5 Jim Faulkner 2004-02-15 15:28:07 UTC]

I am using xmms-1.2.8-r4 on the x86 machine and xmms-1.2.9-r2 on the ~x86 machine.

[Comment 6 Salim Fadhley 2004-02-15 17:23:43 UTC]

I can confirm that this album also crashes other music Kaboodle. The MP3s are broken.

[Comment 7 Colin Macdonald 2004-02-26 02:08:08 UTC]

I downloaded those mp3s with bittorrent and they work fine in xmms-1.2.10, ~x86

I don't think this is gentoo's problem.

maybe check these md5sums for your files:

yep, 1.2.10 seems to fix it. =)
