Crash when browsing ssh-folders containing mp3 files

Core dump with debug symbols, of this crash.

from core dump looks like nautilus 2.16.1 (edgy version)

i cant reproduce on feisty

i installed mpg321 and enabled audio preview on remote file systems. the preview work fine and there is no crash

would it be possible for you to test with a feisty alpha live cd http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-5/

Ok, I will burn the feisty alpha live, install the totem plugins, create
the ssh connection to my server, and test it in the same conditions.

By the way, I will re-test this crash using the Edgy live CD, in a live
session, to check if I reproduce it there. However, I will not apply
updates (Think it will not be possible in a live session due to RAM
size).
Note that the crash happened with an Edgy installed on a hard disk, all
updates installed.

I will post with the results of these 2 tests.

Additional IMPORTANT note:
The crash happens when Nautilus displays the mp3 files as *Icons*.
It *does not* happen when Nautilus displays the files as "Lists".

Thank you for your bug. The backtrace is similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367040 upstream

Ok, I did not post before as I was doing deep tests on Edgy and Feisty Alpha, on how to find a way to reproduce the crash with a live CD. I can now trig it straightforwardly and easily.

The result is that I get this Nautilus bug / crash on *both* distros live CDs, Edgy and Feisty Alpha.

I boot on the live CD, then I simply install the gstreamer 0.10 plugins : ffmpeg, fluendo-mp3, bad, bad-multiverse, ugly, ugly-multiverse.

The bug/crash is then trigged in Nautilus when setting the option in Nautilus : "Preview sound" to "Always".

To trig it : I browse a *ssh* folder in *icon view* with mp3s, and I double click on different mp3s (which starts totem), then I close totem and double click on some other mp3s file, or I try to right click on an mp3 file and display its properties, ...

After 3 or 4 such actions, nautilus starts to become unstable : it does not display anymore the mp3 icon (with a music note), just a white plain icon and does not respond anymore. Sometimes, it also crashes and trigs the crash bug report.

Notes :
- the bug does not appear for local mp3s, nor in Nautilus list view.
- The bug appears also if I install mpg123-alsa. In that case, the sound preview works, but the bug/crash still appears.

I've added a copy of your comment upstream

The bug should be fixed with the new Ubuntu version, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue though
