gnome-mplayer crashes when pulse-audio terminate the stream

[Damian]

Binary package hint: gnome-mplayer

gnome-mplayer: Installed: 0.9.4-1
Ubuntu 9.04

If You terminate the stream using pavucontrol gnome-mplayer hangs (not hangs you can still open drop-down menus
but you can not close the application or play any file. So I have to kill it. :(
In Totem when you terminate the stream, it stops playing and complain that you have killed the stream, and it do not hang.

Works fine for me. What version of mplayer are you using?

mplayer:
  Installed: 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu19+medibuntu1
  Candidate: 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu19+medibuntu1

OK, I tried and the problem also *works* in gmplayer/mplayer
Here is an strace of it.

Sorry, I' m a bit confused, "the problem also *works*" means you have the same problem with mplayer or means you have no problem with mplayer alone?

[Damian (damianator)]

hmm...sorry I mean the problem also exists.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

OK, than it is a problem with the mplayer version you are using. Can you try with the one from the official repo? I don't know what is different (I don't expect it to be different at all actually) but I don' t have this problem with that.
In any case, both versions are pretty old, and most probably still lack proper pulseaudio support.

Problem also exist with the package from the official repo.
