Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox hangs when disconnecting the USB Audio device I'm currently playing music on .. I know, that's nothing one does all the day - but I'm switching often between PCI Sound and USB Sound.

Rhythmbox perhaps should detect error's with the playback and stop the current playback.

priority: low

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Could you get a backtrace (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace) from the hang?

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy, I've attached the backtrace .. but couldn't create it as explained in your wiki-link, because rythmbox doesn't crash - it just doesn't react to any input anymore. So I pressed Ctrl+Z in gdb and type "backtrace" .. to generate the attached file. hope that helps..
I think it's just a design issue when sending the audio to the soundcard - when there is an error with the card, rythmbox perhaps shouldn't hang ... or perhaps gstreamer has to produce an error code ..

For a program hanging using Ctrl-C on the gdb prompt and then doing "thread apply all bt" allows to get a backtrace. Could you get one with libglib2.0-0-dbg gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-dbg libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg?

Did you have libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg installed for that backtrace? It looks like libgstreamer was not a debug one

I've forwarded that problem upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405451

Comment from upstream:

"This looks like an alsasink bug, so re-assigning to GStreamer.

Just to confirm, do you see the same thing when using Totem or any other
GStreamer-based media player?"
