When I pause xmms it sometimes hangs (not responisve to user input, needs to be KILLed) During play it hangs (very rarely, no discernible pattern) After ~1h of play (on average) the ALSA plugin can't use the soundcard, just ignoring the message and pressing play again continues Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xmms 2.let xmms play for some time 3.every now and then it will randomly hang, especially when you pause it.

I don't know how much help I can be, but this definitely happens to me too. It never locks during playing and it's only with the most recent xmms. This never happened to me before. It randomly just locks up and has to be killed when I pick a new song to play or pause and restart a song.

oh god... this looks ugly... yick... well atleast we've got more than one person reporting this... and it actually happened to me too, but I can't reproduce it on demand. It's only happened to me on amd64 with alsa out, and it has only happened under high cpu load. I switched to OSS and haven't had a problem, so I'm fairly certain it's ALSA specific. Matthew: Are you using ALSA output? I bumped my alsa versions around the same time, so can I get the versions of alsa-lib you guys are using?
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.8 and it only freezes when paused and rarely when switching to a different file. I've seen some weird messages on the console, but haven't saved them (yet). Sorry. Some message like "wrong permissions on ALSA ioctl" or so (I'll try to recreate it) For now I could only trigger: ** WARNING **: snd_pcm_pause() failed: File descriptor in bad state
yeah... I'm on 1.0.8, too. The thing is, nothing has changed in the alsa output plugin between -r9 and -r10... that leads me to believe it MIGHT be the alsa-lib/alsa-drivers bump wich occurred at the same time. Could you drop down to ~alsa-{lib,drivers}-1.0.7
Got the same problem here with xmms-1.2.10-r10 and alsa-lib-1.0.8 (alsa-driver not installed). Backing down to 1.0.7 doesn't change anything. Btw, I'm getting this regardless of load; My box has been ~99% idle for the last half-hour (started xmms about 20 minutes ago).
Just checked the console and I was this: Message: alsa mixer timed out Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkwindow.c: line 1390 (gdk_window_set_size): assertion `window != NULL' failed. Segmentation fault You've probably found a bug in XMMS... ... XMMS was hung as before, which I wouldn't normally expect from a segfault; dunno is it's related (before I got "File descriptor in bad state" or some such).
I'm actually using the OSS driver it seems. I have alsa sound drivers using snd-pcm-oss. I also didn't have any messages on the console when it crashed.
I just user -r12 on amd64 playing ogg for the past 3 hours using OSS output with no problem. I'm going for a run now and will leave it running with alsa.
can you use -r13. Also, try using the 1.2.10 plugins rather than the 1.2.10-r1 plugins. Does that make a difference? Can youu attach gdb to xmms when it freezes to see where it's stuck? I'm not having this problem any more... not sure what I did to clear it up.
For a while, xmms was crashing almost every time I chose a new song. I then switched to rhythmbox, but surprisingly when rhythmbox was going through a playlist, it too locked up. Since then I've switched back to a 2.4 kernel since on 2.6 heavy I/O causes crackling on my audio and I think the problems have gone away. I'm still using alsa drivers, but of course they are from alsa-driver and not the kernel.
ok, yay... now we're getting somewhere... I've had some major problems with 2.6.10. What 2.6 kernel were you noticing this on? It might've been one of the things that cleared up for me when jumping back to 2.6.9
I was using 2.6.10-ck1 when I got the hanging problem. The crackling happens on all 2.6 versions that I've tried, and I believe it's complete unrelated to this problem.
XMMS just froze on me when changing songs on 2.4.29. So much for that idea.
Well, I can't verify this bug any more, so I'm not sure what to think. Can you attatch gdb to the process and see where it's stuck?
I used to have this bug every time I ran it and now I can't seem to reproduce it. The only thing I can think of that I changed is dmix (don't count on it). Does anyone still have this problem? I think it's possible this is asound.conf related.
Hmm... too bad there's no "Magically Fixed" resolution... oh well... please reopen if it hits you again.
