Description Martin 2012-03-02 14:58:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
Totem will crash when playing audio and changing "Audio output type" options multiple times.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Totem 2.28.6
GStreamer 0.10.29

How reproducible:
Always on T420s running RHEL 6.3 nightly without debuginfo packages installed.

*Harder to reproduce with debuginfo packages installed, you must switch very fast between different audio outputs. It's possibly race condition. Try first reproduce it without debuginfo.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start playing audio or video file in Totem.
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Audio
3. Change "Audio output type" from "Stereo" to "5.1-channel".
4. Change "Audio output type" from "5.1-channel" to "AC3 Passthrough" and change it back to "Stereo".*
5. Totem should crash.

Actual results:
Process /usr/bin/totem was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

Expected results:
Change audio output and do not crash or provide meaningful error.

Additional info:
ABRT log with backtrace in attachment.

Propose: Remove this feature from Totem, audio output configuration could be set system-wide in Pulse Audio.

inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
