Hi! Sorry for posting to two bugs, but I couldn't really decide which one to post to, and it would be nice to have both the Firefox and the esound maintainer in the loop. :)
I also encountered firefox crashes when /etc/firefox/firefoxrc had FIREFOX_DSP="auto", i. e. used esddsp under Gnome. I debugged this for a while, and Tollef finally found the reason: for some reason dsp_init() is called multiple times which caused race conditions with the global variables. Protecting the function body with a mutex helped to fix the crash. The patch is available at http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/esound.esddsp-crash.patch it might not fix all possible races, but at least helps to fix the crash here. Thanks for considering, Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?
