Comment 6 for bug 34249

AFAIK the patch hasn't been applied to the ubuntu package (which is all for the best, since it was just a quick fix without any regard for correctness).

The patch fixed the crash and I've used the patched xmms-scrobbler since last november up to last week without a hitch. You have to know how to patch and compile Ubuntu source packages to use it, and you have to either modify the package version or put a hold on the package to keep apt-get from downgrading the package every time you make an update.

Meanwhile I've move on from xmms to audacious under feisty. Might be a good alternative.
