Description David Jarvie 2009-06-14 20:21:52 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Create two MediaObject instances, and call setCurrentSource() on both of them. The second setCurrentSource() call will result in a crash, with the Xine backend at least.

The following code sequence was used in two separate threads, the second one being run before the first thread had completed:

Phonon::MediaSource source(audioFile);
mAudioObject = new Phonon::MediaObject();
mAudioObject->setCurrentSource(source);

The crash occurs in Phonon::Xine::Backend::Backend(), at the first line

Q_ASSERT(s_instance == 0);

Evidently, somewhere in the Phonon code there is a failure of the guard against more than one instance of Xine::Backend being in existence simultaneously.

@Phonon developers: I've marked two Dolphin crashes with similar backtraces as duplicates, but thinking about it again, I'm not 100% sure I was right because those backtraces do not contain setCurrentSource. Do you know if this is the same issue? Can we do something to help track down the bug? It was reported 6 times in Dolphin so far on different kinds of operations in folders containing audio/video files. Thanks!

Is this still valid with latest Phonon 4.4.3 or 4.4.4?

The sample program provided in bug 230005 is still triggering the bug with 4.4.4.

We are sorry, but the xine backend is unmaintained: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-announce&m=130744384419151
Please use the phonon-backend-gstreamer or thre phonon-backend-vlc instead.
