xchat-gnome momentarily hangs just after connection established

This is in feisty, updated fully 3/30/2007 at approximately 1900 GMT.

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace during the hang (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace) and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

Here's the interesting section of the backtrace:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:670:(snd_func_card_driver) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:391:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1070:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3500:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3968:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2145:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

These lines are repeated 1200 times (!) in the course of my 1 hour xchat run. And, no, this machine does not have a sound card, which fits perfectly with the trace above.

that's not a backtrace, could you do Ctrl-C when it's hanging and then "thread apply all bt full" and copy that to a comment?

Below is all text from gdb after Ctrl-C when text input freezes.

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

looks like an esound bug

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? If so please try to obtain a better stacktrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem. Thanks in advance.

Closing this report for now since no more information has been provided, feel free to re open it if you may provide the info we asked for.

Sorry I didn't get back to you on this bug sooner. 4.5 months passed
between when I provided the initial backtrace and your request for a better
stacktrace.. Unfortunately, I no longer have that particular hardware
configuration (no sound card), so I can't provide what's needed.

Just in case I can resurrect this system (and I'll try), for which programs
do I need to load the -dbg or -dbgsym packages? esound? xchat-gnome?
Both? Others too?

Thanks!

I believe I am experiencing this exact same issue.

I am on Hardy Heron alpha 3, fully updated. Note that sound works fine on this machine. Here is the output of gdb after pressing control-C during the long period of time when it hangs:
