[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#498745: audacious: Hangs on playback

[John Lindgren]

Roger,

First of all, sorry for the slow response. That backtrace was exactly
what I wanted. :) It appears that the Pulse Audio plugin (thread 4) is
hanging up, and output_pass_audio is waiting for it. Unfortunately, I'm
not too familiar with Pulse Audio, and the backtrace for thread 4
doesn't show much. Some more information that would be helpful -- it's
hard when I can't see the problem on my own machine --:

        1. Using the same configuration, stop Audacious again when it
        hangs up and get another backtrace, so I can see whether it's
        hanging up in the same place each time.
        
        2. Try (a) updating to 2.0.1-1, (b) using ALSA or OSS instead of
        Pulse Audio, and (c) disabling the cuesheet plugin while you're
        at it. If any of those things gets rid of the hangups, that will
        help narrow the problem down; if not, take yet another backtrace
        when a hangup happens, and that will help narrow it down as
        well.
