This problem is triggerd when a sound event starts. (for example: by clicking preferences-> sound -> preview)

A few seconds after that the program dies.

note that i don't use pulseaudio, but output to alsa directly(because of Bug #178442).
Other apps which use sound (like audacious) work fine

backtrace output:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test a current, supported, Ubuntu version. Thanks in advance
