Bug 178610

Version:           unknown (using 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-9-generic

Seems like kmix can be confused by appearing sound devices (but doesn't have to, it doesn't always crash).  Unfortunately is the backtrace broken.  Hope this helps anyway.

dmesg says:

According to xsession-errors there's an assertion hit:

QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler!
kmix(9215) Mixer::openIfValid: Mixer::open() detected master:  "PCM:0"
ASSERT: "dev->backendObject()==0" in file /build/buildd/kde4libs-4.1.85/solid/solid/devicemanager.cpp, line 164
QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler!
KCrash: Application 'kmix' crashing...


This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.
