Description Mike Duigou 2005-05-03 23:48:05 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-2 Firefox/1.0.3

Description of problem:
I'm running thunderbird while playing wmv audio using mplayer. When Thunderbird tries to generate a "new mail" chime it dies. Running thunderbird while not running mplayer does not always fix the problem. Disabling the Thunderbird "new mail" notification does resolve the problem.

kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 (for the silly fglrx module)
alsa-lib-1.0.9rc2-1
thunderbird-1.0.2-1
alsa-utils-1.0.9rc2-1
esound-0.2.35-4

cat /proc/asound/cards :
0 [V8237          ]: VIA8237 - VIA 8237
                     VIA 8237 with ALC850 at 0xd800, irq 5



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Playing audio stream using mplayer (www.cbc.ca/audio.html) content is windows media audio (wmv)
2. Thunderbird tries to play incoming mail notification (using a PCM 16kbit .wav /usr/share/sounds/email.wav) AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 1 ch, 16 bit (0x10), ratio: 88200->88200 (705.6 kbit)
3. oops.
  

Actual Results:  Thunderbird crashes and the System log contains:

Expected Results:  Pleasent chiming sound.

Additional info:

Not sure what additional info you might need. Will respond to any request for more info. Tired of restarting Thunderbird and losing half composed emails.

Thank you for the bug report. However, Fedora Project no longer maintains this
version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug
if the problem persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older
releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the
problem against Fedora Legacy component
