Segmentation fault when playing a mp3

[Emmanuele Bassi]

1. Launch totem-gstreamer
2. Open an mp3 file
3. Segmentation fault

Here's a stack trace, taken with totem's HEAD branch compiled with --enable-gstreamer=0.10 and the gstreamer0.10 development packages from Ubuntu:

I've compiled totem from HEAD, and with the xine backend it doesn't segfault; as you can see, the segmentation fault in inside GStreamer and not totem.

The packages I've installed are:

gstreamer0.10-alsa, 0.10.2-1ubuntu2
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, 0.10.0-0ubuntu2
gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs, 0.10.2-1ubuntu2
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base, 0.10.2-1ubuntu2
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, 0.10.1-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, 0.10.1-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse, 0.10.1-0ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-tools, 0.10.2-1ubuntu1
gstreamer0.10-x, 0.10.2-1ubuntu2
libgstreamer0.10-0, 0.10.2-1ubuntu1
libgstreamer0.10-dev, 0.10.2-1ubuntu1

[Eric Feliksik (milouny)]

does it happen on a specific mp3, or with all mp3's you have?
Because for me, in current Dapper, it works fine.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you still have the issue? Could be a duplicate of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329181 which is fixed with dapper? What version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good do you have installed?

[Emmanuele Bassi (ebassi)]

last update to dapper fixed this for me.

thanks
