Hi Sebastian, On my sid system the vlc also sufferes from such a crash, i.e. it is fine to enter the main interface but will immediately crash if opened any video or audio.
My backtrace is distinct from the others', which indicates this crash is, probably, due to the intel graphics driver. However, I noticed that there is neither such a `vlc-dbg` package, nor a `vlc-dbgsym` package, so I cannot get any symbols in backtrace except for a local rebuild. I'm not sure if I should file a bug against the intel driver. (gdb) bt full #0 0x00007fffd1f3296a in ??
