Description of problem: Rhythmbox crashes when any mp3 is selected for playing on system with Winchester Athlon64 on a Epox 9NDA3 (nForce 3 chipset - snd-ice1712 alsa driver) motherboard. The same files play fine over NFS on a Athlon 64 Clawhammer core/Asus KV8 (snd-via82xx alsa sriver) motherboard running the same version of Rhythmbox (0.8.8) under FC3 on the local network. These same files play with no trouble using XMMS on both systems under the same conditions. SIFFPE is generated after the song is selected (ie Rhythmbox comes up and looks fine until a mp3 is selected for play). Reporter is available for further testing of patches/fixes/attempts with different compiler version as desired since this bug seems rather h/w specific and may possibly show a problem with these very new CPUs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.8.8 on updated FC3 i386 system (ie both systems running strictly 32 bit with no 64 bit stuff installed) How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. start Rhythmbox 2. select and dbl click mp3 file to play Actual results: "The Application 'rhythmbox' has quit unexpectedly" Expected results: ought to play the mp3 Additional info: Attached is the tail end of an strace rhythmbox from a terminal. Rhythmbox comes up as expected and works normally until the file to play is dbl clicked. MP3 files are on an xfs filesystem...and as mentioned, are shipped over nfs to the functioning system. Importing from an EXT3 filesystem doesn't change the failure.

I perhaps could have been more clear about the CPU...it is the 939 pin version.
Not much interest here, I guess...The reason for posting originally was the thought that perhaps SSE3 instructions that are listed on the AMD specs for 90nm cores are causing the problem...if so, this will soon be a problem with all new Athlon 64s including the duallys. Since the AMD site shows SSE3 for both 754 and 939, this will eventually include Semprons too. Anyhow, totem and xmms work on the same mp3s that give the SIGFPE in rhythmbox
problem doesn't exist with Ubuntu 5.04 x86_64/rhythmbox 0.8.8. Can't seem to find mp3 stuff to try with FC4T3 x86_64.
ok, I guess this can be marked as notabug...must be a misconfiguration elewhere in my FC3 setup because it doesn't happen using Rhythmbox 0.8.8 with either Ubuntu i386 or AMD64 on the system that was throwing the SIGFPE.
all is working on FC4T3 x86_64 with a new set of gstreamer-plugins This can be closed
Ok, closing, thanks.
