From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.10 (Linux 2.4.20-9 i686; U) [en] Description of problem: Attempting to play OGG files with a KDE app causes artsd to crash. For example, kaboodle would offer the following messages: mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding unix_connect: can't connect to server (unix: /tmp/mcop-chris/wchris_csports_com-4e4e-3eb039a7) The console would show: loading extension from '/usr/lib/libartsgslplayobject.la' failed: file not found MCOP Object manager: Could not load extension libartsgslplayobject.la MCOP Object manager: can't find implementation for Arts::GSLPlayObject Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter command: "kaboodle musicfile.ogg" Actual Results: artsd dies with segmentation fault Expected Results: kaboodle should have played the OGG file. Additional info: running with ALSA drivers from Freshrpms.net. RH9 system was upgraded from RH7.2+extras.
It's fixed in kde-3.1.1a, which you can download from ftp.kde.org. It should work if you install arts-devel package, as workaround.
