Created attachment 55229 [details] bmp.strace Here's the strace. Not sure if that helps at all. This is a very nasty bug. Has gotten so me attention the bmp homepage: http://www.sosdg.org/~larne/w/BMP_Homepage but none of their solutions or those in the gentoo forums fix the problem.
This is generally an ALSA problem. Could you try to locally package.mask alsa-lib-1.0.8 so your system will downgrade to 1.0.7? The local package.mask is in /etc/portage, if it's not there yet, create it. Format is the same as /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask This has fixed the problem for most, if not all stable users. (An alternate fix is to run ~x86 beep-media-player -r5, but this depends on alsa-lib-1.0.9-rc2 and means you'll have to upgrade to development-sources. I recommend downgrading ALSA instead of upgrading it).
I'll give this a try in a little bit. For the record, I have tried all the suggestions on the gentoo forums thread and none of them worked.
Tony, neither solution seems to work. The upgrade or the downgrade.
Thanks for testing that, that at least rules out the most common problem. I'd like to rule out CFLAGS, I see a few -m overrides that I don't trust. Could you try with CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" emerge beep-media-player I did the above, but I still get the segfault. :-( Do I need to re-emerge alsa?
If you have OSS emulation support, you could try without the ALSA output plugin with USE="-alsa oss" emerge beep-media-player (It will still use ALSA, but through a different access layer, perhaps that keeps it from falling over)
I tried that and it still doesn't work. :-( Know any other audio players? :-)
Is this fixed already?
Please let me know if this issue still occurs (*without* the bmp-crossfade plugin which is another issue) by reopening the bug.

I'm using the build-in kernel compiled ALSA. All x86 system. No other bmp plug-ins other than the default are installed Workarounds: -Use the OSS plugin instead of the ALSA one. (clean way) -emerge xmms-alsa, copy/paste libALSA.* from /usr/lib/xmms/Output to /usr/lib/bmp/Output (really dirty way, and you wont be able to use the Preferences of the plugin) New ALSA versions are breaking everyones programs, aren't they? Maybe I should put a new kernel version to run, or maybe do that and modularize ALSA intead of have it built in. Any suggestions?
(In reply to comment #12) > New ALSA versions are breaking everyones programs, aren't they? Any suggestions? Please consider running ~x86 beep-media-player and ~x86 alsa-* I can't mark beep-media-player-r6 stable until alsa-lib-1.0.9 goes stable. Sorry about that.
