Looks like we have two issues here: First: hangs related to PulseAudio. I have this issue in Deluge 1.3.5, mkvtoolnix 5.9.0, Opera 12.12, Chromium 22, Chrome 23, Firefox 18 and Firefox 19. I save backtraces for Deluge and Firefox hangs (attached) - both of them indicate influence of PulseAudio. Second: hang in application that use GStreamer. Probably related to first issue. I have this issue in rekonq: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312791 (as you see - GStreamer in backtraces).
I guess VLC hang that reproduced on Roland machine is first issue, the rest GStreamer stuff in this ticket is second issue. What you think? ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #312791 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312791 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1096589 Title: Applications freeze randomly in 13.04 Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: At random all audio players (even VLC) freeze completely when playing mp3s (it doesn't seem to happen with videos and I have not been able to test other formats as yet). It seems to be reproducible by trying to seek the file when its playing or by changing to another song on the playlist. I've tried to get some useful information on this bug using strace and running various audio players from the command line, but nothing so far as shown up that indicates the source of the trouble. Update: Finally capture something from Banshee: [Info 10:03:49.757] GStreamer version 1.0.3.0, gapless: False, replaygain: False [Warn 10:04:07.917] Seem to be stuck loading file:///home/rolandixor/Music/Big%20Duke/Unknown%20Album/60.%20Not%20Loosing.mp3, so re-trying Please not this has nothing to do with Banshee specifically (happens with clementine, gmusicbrowser, etc), and it happens in VLC as well (does VLC use gstreamer on Linux?).
