Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: 13.04 ** Description changed: 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).
