Bug 82051 – xmms-alsa-1.2.10-r1 segfaults

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Todor Zviskov 2005-02-14 16:14:26 UTC]

xmms-1.2.10-r13 seg faults when alsa output is used. I observed the same behaviour with xmms-1.2.10-r12. Both -r12 and -r13 work fine with OSS but NOT when alsa is selected. Alsa output works fine with xmms-1.2.10-r5. Here's what I get when I try to play using alsa output (both -r12 and -r13):

$ xmms

Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. xmms
2. set output to alsa

Expected Results:  
Play music without crashing

can you give a backtrace and strace of the problem?  Can youu try xmms-1.2.10-r13 + xmms-alsa-1.2.10?  Also, please try xmms-1.2.10-r5 + xmms-alsa-1.2.10-r1

[Comment 8 Todor Zviskov 2005-02-16 21:51:20 UTC]

Also:

xmms-1.2.10-r5 + xmms-alsa-1.2.10 = works
xmms-1.2.10-r13 + xmms-alsa-1.2.10 = works

Seems to be a problem with xmms-alsa-1.2.10-r1

[Comment 9 Olliver Schinagl 2005-02-22 03:56:18 UTC]

I actually get:

*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0xb6cd9a40 ***

with or without alsa. On two different machines.

On my laptop with some soundmax soundboard, it appears to be working normally. I still have to sync and update that one. Will do that tonight.

Other machines are synced and up to date...

[Comment 10 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-02-22 04:09:17 UTC]

node, that's an unrelated issue.  Re-emerge all your xmms plugins

[Comment 11 Olliver Schinagl 2005-02-22 08:01:39 UTC]

I did. Many times. I installed all xmms versions all the way back to 1.2.8.
I unset ALL use flags that xmms 1.2.10 and 1.2.8 use. I did emerge -C on all the plugins I had installed (xmms-mpg123, xmms-oggvorbis etc etc.)

same thing. Also my friend just installed gentoo just last night. Freshly installed system with freshly emerged xmms, fails. That's what triggerd me actually.

[Comment 12 Todor Zviskov 2005-02-22 11:53:31 UTC]

Yea that happens here as well since I did emerge -u world yesterday. However, this is totally unrelated to the initial bug.

[Comment 13 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-02-22 16:25:11 UTC]

please open up new bugs with your other issues.

[Comment 14 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-03-21 15:17:27 UTC]

ok, I still can't reproduce this, but the segfault is occurring in alsa-lib, so does it help to change alsa-lib versions?  There were some playback changes mage to xmms-alsa which use different calls to alsa-lib now for pause/playback and other areas.

[Comment 15 Daniel 'Fremen' Llewellyn 2005-03-26 10:06:07 UTC]

I've been having similar problems with xmms crashing whenever using alsa output, and also xine crashes whenever using alsa output. Switching both to oss output works fine. This is after an emerge -uD world two or three days ago.

This is with alsa-lib version 1.0.8. Alsa-lib version 1.0.7 works, so I'm sticking with that for now.

[Comment 16 Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2005-04-15 17:48:33 UTC]

pleasse try -r2.

[Comment 17 Todor Zviskov 2005-04-16 19:35:10 UTC]

Seems to be alright with xmms-1.2.10-r14 and xmms-alsa-1.2.10-r2.

thanks.  closing, then =)
