My Gaim kept crashing too whenever it tried to play a sound. I have no backtrace since I already found a workaround: in the preferences dialog set the sound system to anything but "Automatic". Setting it to ESD is the only option with which the sound works for me and Gaim is now working perfectly. I am not sure if this is the same issue as yours, but if requested I will file a new bug complete with backtrace and any other info needed (unless the backtrace is similar to yours in which case I'll just post another comment here). This is the age-old arts vs libao bug. Work-arounds are to tell gaim to use something other than arts, since gaim uses libao. |
