Plasma Shell Crash Backtrace after choosing IM notification sound.

This ~may~ be an issue in Plasma Shell itself, but it occured for me when changing notification audio file for within Telepathy IM application.

(backtrack added as attachment)

Steps:

1. Right click on Telepathy icon in system tray; select "Instant Messaging Settings"

2. Choose "Notifications" tab

3. Choose any notification event, e.g. "New Incoming Chat". At bottom of dialog, choose the button on right hand side of form to pick a new sound file to play for event.

4. System file selection dialog appears to choose new sound.

5. Within 1-2 seconds, entire Plasma Shell crashes and restarts.

Crash is in libvlc or libvorbis. If this is reproducible, please report this issue to VLC delopers.
