Crashes when playing multi-stream ogg audio files.

[Francesco Accattapà]

totem-gstreamer crashes when playing an ogg file with multiple logical streams (I don't know if this is the correct definition, ogginfo output will follow); in particular it plays only the first stream and then crashes when I close it. The interesting thing is that the nautilus audio preview works fine.

I also tried with "gst-launch-0.10 playbin" (don't know if it is useful, I thought more useless info was better than less useful info). The file is hosted at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/media/small/multi.ogg, and this is the output of ogginfo:

I'm adding the totem and gst-launch-0.10 backtraces as attachments, because they are rather long.

I'm using the current dapper with gstreamer0.10-plugins-base version 0.10.3-1ubuntu1, gstreamer0.10-plugins-good version 0.10.2-2ubuntu1, libgstreamer0.10-0 version 0.10.3-1ubuntu2, totem-gstreamer version 1.3.91-0ubuntu2 on an iBook G4, all rebuilt as recommended in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash.

[Francesco Accattapà (callipeo)]

The totem backtrace.

[Francesco Accattapà (callipeo)]

The gst-launch-0.10 backtrace.

[Sitsofe Wheeler (sitsofe)]

Same problem here. It plays for a bit then the gstreamer program playing it crashes (tested with totem and rhythmbox on an up to date dapper).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

What audiosink do you use (gstreamer-properties), could you try with an another one?

[Francesco Accattapà (callipeo)]

Uhm... now that I tried again I can no longer reproduce the crash, though the problem that totem only plays the first stream still remains. I used autoaudiosink, but I tried alsasink and esdsink ad it goes the same.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you have it if you use autosink again?

[Francesco Accattapà (callipeo)]

Well, I can't no longer reproduce the crash, but totem still plays only the first stream.

Seems to be upstream http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320984

[SK (stephantom)]

This bug is now fixed in upstream by using the new playbin2 (which does multistream oggs). But according to (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=415572) playback applications must be fixed to use it instead of playbin.
Should separate bugs be filed for totem/rhythmbox and the like?

[SK (stephantom)]

Just for reference/tracking purposes: Upstream is working in this report (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448215) towards porting rhythmbox to playbin2.

[WHiZZi (bart-bartvandenakker)]

It seems to be fixed in Debian Lenny. I've tried the same stream on a up2date Debian Lenny and an Ubuntu Hardy. The Ubuntu just stops (Rhythmbox crashes, Totem only stops working) while the Debian Lenny machine keeps playing (AND updates the ID-info)

On Ubuntu Hardy, this works (as, the stream continues to play)

the new version is available in ubuntu now

Reopening, as I cannot get it to work on Intrepid.

Should bug #97720 be marked as a duplicate as well, by the way?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

don't reopen a closed bug because you have a similar issue
