Alsaplayer crashes

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in alsaplayer.

0.99.76 is outdated and have several critical security bugs. Please update to the last version. You will get a gtk2 interface for the same price.

The buig in the vorbis plugin is fixed in 0.99.80-rc3 by Erik Sjölund. See http://secunia.com/advisories/27117 and the 2 first links (to sourceforge) in CVE repport. BTW, 0.99.80 is out.

I think this is fixed for now. nominating it for release
