Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Running up-to-date jaunty

steps to reproduce:
1. open rhythmbox
2. Use search: to narrow the results of playlist,
example, I have 11k files on library so wanting play "titles" that contain "ghost of tom joad"
That'll give me 3 results.
3. Click play (No shuffle/repeat is on)
4. Listen the songs
5.When playlist is finished, rhythmbox crashes

It doesn't matter if there's 1 song or 30 selected, crash happens every time.

setting "gstreamer-properties" to "autodetect(pulseaudio)" or "alsa" has no effect
So used audio-output module isn't or at least shouldn't be the cause.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a '.crash' file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

 If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

 If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

 If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.
 I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

@sebastian,

I used the file in /var/crash to report this issue.

But indeed apport isn't running by default as it is disabled in "system services" or "startup apps"
in which ever it was located.

dublicates, and few more reporting this as confirmed?

If someone could test if this triggered by enabling "cross-fading" ?
I'm on vacation, and nowhere near my Jaunty running GNOME.

Yes, it is due to cross-fade.
