I can activate the equalizer without issue each time, but by following certain steps I can reproduce the crash as well.
1. Run Banshee and play a CD (in my case, Babylon 5 Volume 2: Messages from Earth but that probably doesn't matter). 1. Bring up the equalizer with Ctrl-E, set the equalizer to Rock, turn off the Enabled checkbox, and exit the equalizer. 3. Hit Ctrl-E to bring up the equalizer again, which should show the Rock setting. Change it to Classical and then click the Enable checkbox. Notice that the music stops immediately, and bad things proceed from there. Also, in case it makes a difference, I just (in the past few days) updated this machine from 12.04 to 14.04, and have never used the equalizer in Banshee until today (that I can recall). Here's what showed in my terminal when I did the above: [1 Debug 15:35:10.150] Disabled equalizer [1 Debug 15:35:12.517] Selected equalizer: Rock [1 Debug 15:35:45.574] Selected equalizer: Classical [1 Debug 15:35:48.361] Syncing equalizer to engine: Classical (Banshee:13459): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: write map requested on non-writable buffer Stacktrace: Native stacktrace: banshee() [0x4b73d8] banshee() [0x50f13b] banshee() [0x423d22] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0(+0x10340) [0x7fec7761d340] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstequalizer.so(+0x22e0) [0x7fec36e7a2e0] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstequalizer.so(+0x2c4f) [0x7fec36e7ac4f] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstbase-1.0.so.0(+0x33960) [0x7fec64ccb960] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstbase-1.0.so.0(+0x340a1) [0x7fec64ccc0a1] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0(+0x60d08) [0x7fec649f4d08] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstbase-1.0.so.0(+0x342a9) [0x7fec64ccc2a9] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0(+0x60d08) [0x7fec649f4d08] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstbase-1.0.so.0(+0x342a9) [0x7fec64ccc2a9] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0(+0x60d08) [0x7fec649f4d08] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstcoreelements.so(+0x20eb0) [0x7fec4c99ceb0] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0(+0x8e549) [0x7fec64a22549] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x6e89c) [0x7fec7456689c] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0(+0x6df15) [0x7fec74565f15] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0(+0x8182) [0x7fec77615182] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(clone+0x6d) [0x7fec7734230d] Debug info from gdb: Could not attach to process.
