Hi there,
I've got a somewhat strange problem, which occurs on both my laptop and my
desktop-pc, both running gentoo. From one day to the other, all KDE-based
music/media player don't start playing music anymore.
I've tried Amarok, Kaffeine and Juk, and all of them seem to hang when starting
any kind of music file (mp3/flac/wma). But, strangly, kaffeine plays videos
with
sound without a problem. Also, other programs (non-kde), for example audacity
and xine, play mp3 files properly.
In kde's system settings, the phonon configuration dialog play its test sounds
properly.
Any ideas? Any idea why it affects two different systems pretty much at the
same
time? Any idea why it worked yesterday morning and started to have troubles
yesterday evening, without having changed anything in the system?
BTW: dmesg shows a lot of lines that might be relevant:
[21219.855176] traps: alsa-sink[12956] general protection ip:7f08486569f2
sp:7f083fff6b70 error:0 in libasound.so.2.0.0[7f0848600000+ea000]
one per attempt to play anything in amarok.
Best regards
Alex
