Description Stuart Hayes 2007-11-01 20:35:20 UTC

Description of problem:

If I create a playlist of 8 sounds from /usr/share/sounds (I'm using one .ogg 
and 7 .wav files), and turn on "repeat", then play the sounds, rhythmbox will 
hang.  It only takes about 5-10 minutes to hang.  An strace shows that it's 
stuck at a futex.

If I install gstreamer-0.10.11-1.fc6, it works fine.  (I had to update some 
other RPMs to install this.)  If I then go back to the original gstreamer 
(gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5), it will again fail in the same manner.  I then tried 
gstreamer-0.10.10 (upstream), and that fails in the same manner.  So 
presumably something was fixed between 0.10.10 and 0.10.11, but I don't know 
what.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL5.1
gstreamer-0.10.9-3.el5
rhythmbox-0.9.5-8.el5


How reproducible:
Every time, quickly

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run rhythmbox
2. setup playlist (I used KDE_Desktop_1.ogg, KDE_Desktop1-4.wav (that's 4 
files), KDE_Critical_Error.wav, and KDE_Close_Window.wav 
from /usr/share/sounds)
3. turn on repeat
4. play sounds
5. wait for rhythmbox to quit playing... it will no longer refresh the window 
either
  
Actual results:
Rhythmbox hangs

Expected results:
Rhythmbox should keep playing sounds forever

Additional info:
I've attached the tail of the strace output.

Comment 1 Stuart Hayes 2007-11-02 21:21:21 UTC

My tests seem to indicate that it is something that changed in gst/gstpad.c 
and/or gst/gstpad.h from 0.10.10 to 0.10.11 that fixes this issue.  I compiled 
0.10.10 with just those two files from 0.10.11, and it ran for a couple hours, 
no problem.

Unfortunately Red Hat Engineering was unable to resolve this issue by RHEL 5.2
Beta Freeze.  This issue has been moved to address in RHEL 5.3.

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2008-08-18 10:06:29 UTC

Tentatively, should be fixed by the upgrade to 0.11.6.
