[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#833333: Amarok crash probably due to gstreamer

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Hi.

I reported bug #833333 against the Amarok package, but it is probably
due to gstreamer. So gstreamer maintainers are in Cc.

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833333

I found how to intercept amarok's backtrace (use "amarok --nofork"). So
that is the backtrace:

Which seems to indicate that the bug is in gstreamer1.0-libav. And
actually upgrading that package to the experimental version (1.9.1-1)
fixes the bug. So I leave it to the GStreamer maintainers to decide what
to do with the bug (if 1.9.1-1 is planned to migrate to unstable and
testing soon, there is no need to fix 1.8.2-1; if not, probably it is a
good idea to do that).

Thanks, Giovanni.
