If you're not in the mood for trying to debug it yourself, I'd say file a bug against phonon-gstreamer to let the developers know what's going on. Btw: When HAL is not running, KsCD just SIGSEGV on press PLAY. Same thing here. This is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265597, and I think the code has been buggy like that since 2008 (git commit 376c5cec). It's very easy to see why it's crashing (if no optical drive is detected when KSCD is started it sets a NULL pointer that is later dereferenced when one of the buttons is pressed, and when HAL is not running Solid is unable to detect the optical drive), but KSCD has been unmaintained for almost as long. If anyone feels like fixing the code, that would be good, but it's not something I intend to do myself at least. ___ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
