Fix for the segfault |
||
Thanks for the report! The crash is easy enough to fix, but it looks like format negotiation with the default sink fails. The only situation where this should happen is when the client requests passthrough playback for some compressed format. What kind of file are you trying to play? If the file that you're trying to play is just a regular mp3/vorbis/flac file, then there's some other bug in addition to the one that causes the crash. If I write a special debugging patch, will you be able to test it (build and install pulseaudio from source code)? A fix for the crash has been sent to the mailing list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/19697 Created attachment 93928 [details] [review] Fix for the segfault Here's the patch as an attachment too. The fix is now in master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/commit/?id=ee1a96499447d0bc3458ab5075d05dbefcee225c About the suspected additional bug: this was sorted out in IRC, and it turned out that GStreamer's playbin tries to play mp3 in passthrough mode before falling back to PCM, so nothing abnormal was happening in PulseAudio (apart from the crash). |

Created attachment 93581 [details] backtrace In Fedora 21 using pulseaudio 4.99.3 I'm getting a segfault of the pulseaudio daemon whenever I try to play something using gnome-music. I'm attaching a backtrace of the problem.
