[José Antonio Vico Palomino]

Binary package hint: amarok

The sound suddenly begins to spoil and lets oir itself. Later any application that uses sound stops.
Without sound I cannot work. Aid!

I just marked bug 88667 a duplicate of this one, since it has an almost identical stack trace.

Can either of you devise a sequence of steps that can regularly reproduce this crash?
