[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#601120: audacious: Hangs after a random amount of time playing music

[John Lindgren]

Hi Dominic, thanks for your report.

Can you tell us:
- What sort of file (MP3, AAC, Vorbis, etc.) you are trying to play, and
on what medium (hard disk, CD, network)?
- What type of audio output you are using (ALSA, PulseAudio, OSS, etc.)?

Then, can you run Audacious from within GDB, stop the process when it is
hung, and take a backtrace?

-- John
