Version: 1.2.3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1 OS: Linux Since I started using it Amarok has crashed constantly but at random times. I can't duplicate it 'manually', but if I wait long enough (usually more than an hour sometimes less) Amarok will crash. I've compiled it with debugging enabled and unstripped binaries. Here is the output from bt in gdb: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I do not have the knowledge to discern the output from bt, so I hope it's useful to someone. If there's anything else you'd like from gdb, let me know. I'm runing a 32-bit AMD system. I'm using gstreamer-0.8.9-r3, what I'll try next is updating to gstreamer-0.8.10. As I mentioned above, this happens at seemingly random times, so I'm not sure what else I can say.
Here's something I see in the console after the crash: Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 10757, errno = 2
gstreamer-0.8.10 had no effect. Same crash as posted above.
Getting this also: Program received signal SIG43, Real-time event 43.

This seems to be coinciding with some event in Firefox. Every time I save an image from a website using Firefox, as soon as I click the "save" button, Amarok crashes. The gdb output in comment #3 is from one of these crashes.
I want to not that I have this problem as well. And recently it got much worse. I installed a lot more gst plugins so that I could play m4a and other files. Now amarok crashes before I can even get it to play a song. I changed amarok versions to see if it would help (1.2.4) and I removed the old amarok config to see if that would help and it didn't.
I've also upgraded to 1.2.4 and gstreamer 0.8.10, and I'm still having the same problem (albeit less frequently.)
This is some sort of problem deep within gstreamer, which we cannot do much about. perhaps gstreamer doesnt like your hardware, but try switching engine or compiling from source with debug and sending the bt to gst guys
