Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
After a recent update of the Pidgin 2.5.1 package in Intrepid, I'm finding my client will sporadically freezes for a few seconds, and then come back. When left running, it will sometimes crash (ie, overnight).
Intrepid
pidgin 1:2.5.1-0ubuntu1
I'd normally expect it to not freeze randomly.
But it did anyway.

To post a comment you must log in.
Could you try this : launch Pidgin from a terminal, then go into Tools -> Preferences -> Sound, and click on "preview" at the bottom of the window. Do you have any message like
(pidgin:9106): GStreamer-CRITICAL **:
Trying to dispose element play, but it is not in the NULL state.
You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.
(pidgin:9106): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `((GObject *) object)->ref_count > 0' failed
(pidgin:9106): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_ set_state: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed
in the terminal?
If so, it is happening with me as well, and could be a duplicate of bug #162701
