This seems to occur for me any time I apply settings from within FoF. This could be any settings, whether it's in the video configuration area, the audio, or the game settings config.
Command line output from the crash:

I've got a VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) onboard integrated sound card, and am running libasound2 1.0.15-3ubuntu3.

Reproduction: Open fretsonfire, go to settings, go to game settings, change any setting in the menu, go to apply settings, and then crash.

I've got a CreativeLabs Soundblaster 1024 Live, FoF doesn't even start.

When I start Fretsonfire the message is the next:

I got the same error as above on Ubuntu Hardy Heron Beta, running onboard sound (82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (P5B)).

[Zarius (zariust+ubuntu)]

Update: noticed my original problem was a little different than the OP (not caused by video settings). I solved my problem by restarting GDM (seems something was holding onto the sound device - or at least ALSA thought so, I couldn't find anything with 'fuser -v /dev/snd/*'). Upon successfully starting the program I changed the video settings and it crashed in a similar fashion to the OP. Tested a second time with fresh start & no change to video settings (just entered video settings & selected 'Apply') - crashed.

[Michael Nagel (nailor)]

had this happen right now, too. is there any useful information that i could provide?

[Hew (hew)]

This is still happening in Intrepid. Game crashes on opening if sound device is busy. It also crashes later in the menu after opening when the device is not busy, but that may be another issue.

fretsonfire/intrepid uptodate 1.2.451.dfsg-2
python/intrepid uptodate 2.5.2-1ubuntu1

[Hew (hew)]

Still present with fretsonfire 1.2.512.dfsg-3.

[Philipp Kern (pkern)]

Did you try it on Gnome or KDE? I can't reproduce it with pulseaudio running.

[Krypto0 (zerosneaker)]

I tried it by running it in Gnome
