Hello, I have a similar problem, audio players seem to randomly freeze while playing mp3s. I'll try to get a stacktrace with gdb maybe you could try too by following these steps :
1. Start Banshee in a terminal with "banshee --debug" 2. Open another terminal 3. Hook gdb onto the running Banshee process: gdb -p `pidof banshee` 4. Once gdb's prompt appears, get it to allow the Banshee process to continue by typing "cont" 5. Reproduce the crash 6. The gdb prompt should appear. Type "bt full" to get the full stack trace. Then type "quit" to quit gdb. 7. Copy the outputs from both terminals and save them into separate text files 8. Attach both files to this bug. -- 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: All audio players freeze randomly in 13.04 Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New 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?).
