Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a valgrind log following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

Adding the valgrind log. Hope its useful.

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

I also got this when trying to play/use rhythmbox as well.

(rhythmbox:21159): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_ref: assertion `entry != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:21159): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_get_ulong: assertion `entry != NULL' failed

lots of times as well.

Hi all,
    I dunno if this affects it or not but my /etc/pulse/default.pa has

load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 (line 51)

Could this be affecting it?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

May you please install the dbgsym packages for both gstreamer and rhythmbox? looks like a gstreamer issue, btw does gst-launch playbin uri=file:///to/the/files works ok ? or you get the same issue? thanks.

[Shirish Agarwal (shirishag75)]

Pedro,
 I have an issue when installing the -dbgsym files.

gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio only has

$ aptitude search gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
i gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio - GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio
p gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio-dbgsym - debug symbols for package gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio

Just trying for gstreamer0.10 gets me this

$ aptitude search gstreamer0.10-db*
p gstreamer0.10-doc - GStreamer core documentation and manuals
p libgstreamer0.10-dev - GStreamer core development files
p libgstreamer0.10-dev-dbgsym - debug symbols for package libgstreamer0.10-dev

same for gstreamer0.10-alsa

$ aptitude search gstreamer0.10-alsa
i gstreamer0.10-alsa - GStreamer plugin for ALSA
p gstreamer0.10-alsa-dbgsym - debug symbols for package gstreamer0.10-alsa

The moot problem here seems to be that gnome has only a gnome-dbg

Hi all,
 Could be a gstreamer issue as this keeps showing up.

pidgin:24778): GStreamer-CRITICAL **:
Trying to dispose element play, but it is not in the NULL state.
You need to explicitly set elements to the NULL state before
dropping the final reference, to allow them to clean up.

re-assigning to gstreamer for now then, thanks.

[Sergei (Nolar) Vasilyev (nolar)]

Maybe related to bug with gstreamer-pulseaudio plugin, described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470000
It was fixed ~2009-01-15 and pushed to fedora updates ~2009-01-23.
Waiting it in Ubuntu updates (it is a security issue, i think, as it some kind of resource leaking).

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? May you please try the same with Karmic? Thanks in advance.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

these " mmap failed to allocate memory" warnings have appeared after config wine thru its menu (wineconfig): i suppose that was produced when i've checked default sound setting then validate (alsa 1.0.20+dfsg-1ubuntu5)

apport-collect info is false : installed package is wine 1.1.32-0untu1~ppa2

i've reported this bug on winehq but they says that's not a WINE bug, so does alsa might be reported ?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

don't reopen closed bugs but open a new bug on wine rather for the new issue

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it's also not clear the new comments and the bug described are the same issue
