Description of problem: This problem is seen by choosing the Multimedia Systems Selector from the Hat->Preferences->More Preferences menu. If I change Audio Default sink from ALSA to Artsd and press test I get a segfault message in /var/log/messages and the Gstreamer Preferences window goes away. kernel: gstreamer-prope[4284]: segfault at 0000000000002198 rip 0000002a99b646ce rsp 0000007fbfffd7c0 error 6 is the message. If I run gstreamer-properties from a terminal as my user and click test I get the segfault. If I run the same command under a root terminal the error dialog appears. Running the command: gst-launch-0.8 sinesrc ! spider ! artsdsink as root results in an error. Running it as a user results in a segfault. See below for environment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gst-launch-0.8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gst-launch-0.8 sinesrc ! spider ! artsdsink under a users terminal. 2. 3. Actual results: crash and segfault Expected results: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'Artsd - ART Sound Daemon' error dialog appears Additional info: This appears to be x86_64 only. Additionally I have an unsupported sound card so I have no sound. Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02). The box is an EM64T. The way this issue was found would be close to the steps a not so savy user would take trying to get sound working on the box IMO. Backtrace attached.

We don't ship an arts plugin any more, closing.
