Amarok crashes when playing FLAC

[tdn]

When I am playing some FLAC files that I ripped from a CD, amarok crashes. I
get the error:
"The application Amarok (amarok) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)."

Backtrace is attached.

Hardware:
IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad T61p

This just happened again. Trace with dbgsym attached.

Same problem with me, amarok 2.1 and Kubuntu 9.04 with kde 4.3.0.

Please check your $HOME/.xsession-errors file (or start amarok from cmdline to see output).
I had (ffmpeg-flac decoder originated) warnings like:

KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...
---------------------------------------------------------

As Amarok uses libxine and at libxine maps flac decoding to ffmpeg module by default, my problems were caused by ffmpeg. This happend specially recently ripped (using k3b) flac files. One solution may be this:

http://bugs.xine-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196

However, I could not find mentioned xine-config file and removed whole libxine1-ffmpeg package which solved crashing. Now I'm missing mp3 playback but most of my music is flac anyway.

Should be fixed in Amarok > 2.1
