Noise crashes within first 5 seconds of a song

[Kirue]

I am running noise on elementary OS Luna. Since a few days, noise repeatedly crashed within the first 5 to 10 seconds of playing a song. Somtimes this happens at the first song I play, sometimes later, but it always happens during the first few seconds of a song.

noise -d gave this (only the last few lines):

For the output of (gdb) run -d see attached file.

I felt the bug occurs more frequently when a song choosen via noise is playing but the next song in the queue was added from the file manager. Noise then crashed when that song started.

Sorry for the long and partly german output, but I hope this helps to fix the bug.

Similar bug affects lp:foto/foto-1.0

Can't confirm it's the same, but after some research, I discovered that calling X.init_threads(); before Gtk.init (or GtkClutter.init) solves the problem, at least for foto. Then, I found this:

For me this bug is still existing on Freya Final! Most of the time it crashes on the second song played. For example, I start listening to the first song of an album which works well, then after 5 seconds of the second song noise crashes. But Sometimes it also crashes during the first song. Anyone else expieriencing this?
