Sorry for the slow reply. I installed libgstreamer dbg as above, and already had libc6-dbg. I did the sysctl, but it had no effect. My /usr/bin/banshee is owned by root:root, so as suggested in the output above I ran it as sudo banshee --debug, but it no longer recognized my CD player. I fired up a random podcast instead, and caused the crash once more by simply bringing up the Equalizer with Ctrl-E, seeing that was already set to Classical and Enabled, turned off Enabled and turned it on again. Dump attached.
