Description Yanko Kaneti 2008-05-19 21:11:10 UTC
Upgrading from 0.9.10-1 to 0.9.11-0.1.svn20080516 causes xine (configured to use
the pulseaudio plugin) to crash a startup with the attached backtrace.

It could be a xine-lib bug, but I wouldn't know about it. Please accept my
apologies if thats the case.
Hardware is a standard (I think) HDA with usual alsa support.

Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2008-05-21 14:07:38 UTC
Hmm, this is interesting. Seems the environ[] libc array is not valid in some
way. Could you please do a "p environ" in gdb when this happens? And then a "p
environ[0]" and an "p environ[1]" and so on?

Comment 3 Yanko Kaneti 2008-05-23 07:41:37 UTC
I don't know if this makes any sense but with breakpoint and step it seems the e
= environ assignment is the one that zeros e, while environ is fine. ?

Comment 4 Lennart Poettering 2008-06-04 11:44:33 UTC
Hmm? that doesn't really make sense. After the e = environ both pointers should
point to the same array. 

Could you please do the "p environ[0]" and "p environ[1]"?

environ seems fine. The last time I did try a -O0 build to see if it made any
difference. This is with 0.9.11-0.3.svn20080529.fc10


Comment 6 Lennart Poettering 2008-06-13 23:42:48 UTC
Hmm, if you really built this stuff with -O0 there shouldn't be any "optimized
out" in the backtrace. 

Comment 7 Yanko Kaneti 2008-06-14 07:42:03 UTC
"The last time" meant around my comment #3. I didn't try -O0 with
0.9.11-0.3.svn20080529.fc10 because it looked the same. I did try building with
the latest gcc updates to see if it made any difference. It didn't.

If you really can't reproduce this, please feel free to close it. Trying it out
is not complicated. Have a running pulseaudio server
# yum install xine xine-lib-pulseaudio
# xine -A pulse

Comment 8 Lennart Poettering 2008-09-09 20:45:14 UTC
Can't reproduce it here. Closing.

Comment 9 Yanko Kaneti 2008-09-10 09:03:32 UTC
FWIW I can still reproduce this with latest pusleaudio and xine lib
these days its at

otherwise not much different symptoms.
