Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I cannot play MP3s in any KDE application. If I attempt to play an MP3, the application I am using crashes. It gives a SIGABRT ("The application has closed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)"). The crash dump is shown at the bottom of this message. This crash occurs when I am using any KDE application that plays MP3s. Sometimes, even Konqueror will crash if I am merely viewing a folder full of MP3s. I have ruled out many potential causes: * there is nothing wrong with the sound on my computer. Sound, including MP3s, works fine in Windows XP and in GNOME. * there is nothing wrong with sound in Linux. MP3s play fine in GNOME applications. This is true even if I am using a GNOME app such as Rhythmbox inside KDE. MP3s also play fine in non-KDE applications like Xine, even if I open Xine while inside of KDE. * on the other hand, if I use a KDE app inside GNOME to play MP3s, the app will also crash. (I just don't get the SIGABRT message.) * whether or not I use OSS drivers or Alsa drivers makes no difference. * there is nothing wrong with my sound card. This problem occurs whether I use an integrated sound card on my motherboard or a PCI add-in sound card. * whether I turn the KDE sound system on and off makes no difference. * though I know this problem exists with MP3s in KDE, it may also exist with other sound files in KDE. However, this problem does not exist with *all* KDE sound. I can play DVDs and hear sound just fine. I can also hear system sounds (like the KDE startup sound) just fine. * This problem is not specific to my distribution, which is Debian 3.1. This problem also occurs with KNOPPIX, which is Debian based. However this problem even occurs with Mandriva 2005 LE and Mandrake 10.1, which are not Debian based. * whether I use a sound server such as jack or esd makes no difference. * I used aptitude to install KDE and kdemultimedia, so all dependency issues should be taken care of. Please contact me if you want more information about my configuration, etc. I have a Dell Pentium 4 with kernel 2.4.27 (though this problem also occurs in Mandriva, which has a 2.6 kernel.)

Can you send me a sample mp3 that's causing a crash (with the name 107432.mp3)? It's the relative volume frame in the mp3s that's causing the crash, which I personally don't use, so it's not particularly easy to debug here without a test.
Ok, I can reproduce this with 1.3.1, but not with the version from SVN, so I assume that this was caused by the same things as one of the other bugs that was reported since 1.3.1 came out. The fix will be part of the forthcoming 1.4 release.
