Hmm, that crash is somewhere inside the alsa sound library... which version do you have there, and which sound hardware do you use?

Comment 5 Gian 2011-12-27 15:40:47 UTC

I have alsa-lib-1.0.24.1. 

The crash occurs on both my desktop and my laptop, though obviously not with battery on the former. The soundcard on my desktop is an onboard HD audio chip (snd-hda-intel kernel module) with a Realtek ALC662 codec. On the laptop, as far as I remember, it's also an HD audio chip, though I'll have to check to be sure.

How about KDE 4.8 and/or alsa-lib-1.0.25-r1?
