Sorry for the late reply as I had a busy week. I had a gstreamer update tonight but I'm not able to test yet (have to sleep), so I will test it again later and see how it goes. I believe it might be Pulseaudio related in VLC's case for sure. It seems to also occur with Firefox when playing youtube videos or other flash content (the plugin-container process freezes Firefox occasionally, and killing it unfreezes it).
As for the gdb trace - I don't think I'll go through with that seeing as someone else has covered it :) http://about.me/rolandixor/ On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 12:38 AM, RussianNeuroMancer < 1096...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > Forgot to mention - hang obviously not reproducible when PulseAudio is > stopped. > > ** Attachment added: "Deluge hang" > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1096589/+attachment/3478756/+files/Deluge%20hang > > ** Summary changed: > > - All audio players freeze randomly in 13.04 > + Applications freeze randomly in 13.04 > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug > report. > 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).
