Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I doubt there is much I can do about it, as gmusicbrowser is simply telling gstreamer (or mplayer...) what file to play.
2 questions :
1) does it work with mplayer ?

2) what version of libglib-perl is installed ? There is a long standing bug in perl-glib, that was recently fixed in 1.251 (1.25x is the unstable branch, the fix is in the 1.260 stable release) it caused random segmentation fault in some cases with gstreamer. Though it very rarely affected simply playing a song, and the crashes were totally random, so I don't think it is the cause here. I doubt this is

Searching for "gst_type_find_factory_call_function sshfs", I found this amarok bug :
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283469
So I'd say it is probably a gstreamer bug.
