Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
I wanted to hear Apport's audio test tone on a computer with working audio, to compare it to the tone I heard on a different system that was having sound problems. So even though this bug occurred when using Apport to "report" an audio bug, the system where the bug occurred does *not* have an audio problem. This is a dual-core x86-64 Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat system with:
ek@Apok:~$ uname -a
Linux Apok 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:45:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
ek@Apok:~$ apt-cache policy apport-gtk apport
apport:

These steps produced the bug:
I ran ubuntu-bug with no arguments, and answered the questions it presented me as follows.
Q: What kind of problem do you want to report?
A: Sound/audio related problems
Q: What particular problem do you observe?
A: Playback does not work, or is crackling
Q: Have you checked that your sound system is plugged in, and turned on?
A: Yes
Q: What is the name of the sound card you are having problems with?
A: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
Then I was presented with the message box explaining the speaker test and clicked Close. As expected, focus switched to the "Collecting problem information" window, and the test tone started playing. While it was playing, I clicked Cancel.
I expected that this would close the Apport window, but it did not. Instead, the progress bar froze, but the test tone continued playing correctly (i.e. it switched between the two audio channels, it was not frozen). The test tone ended, but the "Collecting problem information" window did not close. The Cancel button appeared pressed, and clicking it again was ineffective, as was clicking the window's "X". I killed apport with SIGTERM.
I have reproduced the bug several times, clicking Cancel during different times in the test tone. Whether I click it at the very beginning of the test tone or after a significant duration of the test tone has passed, Apport freezes as describe above.
I use the LXDE desktop environment via lubuntu-desktop, so to ensure that the bug was not related to interaction between Apport and the Openbox window manager, I logged in (to the same Ubuntu system) with an Xubuntu Desktop (which uses the xfwm4 window manager). I had no trouble reproducing the bug.
