Every time I load Xine, it shows the splash screen and then segfaults. This started occuring after a recent world update. I don't think Xine was one of the apps updated, though. However, the splash screen IS different... A revdep-rebuild shows everything is fine. I upgraded to the latest alsa-lib (1.0.9_rc3) to eliminate that problem. I don't use NVidia. mplayer plays just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Xine 2.Crash after splash. Actual Results: Crashed.

if i understand this one right, updating the alsa-lib fixed it? the problem with the alsa-lib is known, there were quite a lot of bugs in the past related to the alsa-lib 1.0.8 and 1.0.9_rc2 . another problem is when version get out of sync, i.e. you use the driver from the kernel and use the lib from the tree which is a more current version or something.
My apologies - I must have been half awake when I wrote the bug report. What I meant was that I upgraded alsa-lib to 1.0.9_rc3 with the intention of eliminating that problem, as has been reported elsewhere. However, the problem still exists with 1.0.9_rc3. I just downgraded to 1.0.7, and it still behaves the same way - crashing.
are you familiar with gdb? could you re-emerge xine (the lib and the ui would be good) with CFLAGS set to "-O0 -ggdb" and FEATURES="nostrip" ? afterwards run 'gdb xine' , when it segfaults type bt full, that produces the output of interest. that would make debugging easiert, thanks.
With those, xine-lib did not compile.

I had a similar problem about 4 months ago. xine refused to start, I just saw the splashscreen and then xine segfaulted. I found out that xine crashed when it tried to load the plugins. It crashed everytime when it tried to load ll /usr/lib/xine/plugins/[version number]/xineplug_dmx_audio.so I just removed this file from the xine plugins directory and from that on xine worked properly. Maybe this could help you as a workaround!
Are you using in-kernel drivers or alsa-driver's one? In the first case just use 1.0.9 drivers AND lib.
I'm using the ALSA driver. And that plugin is not the problem...
