And now the reason for the problem: there was no audio device. I ran
Ubuntustudio in VirtualBox and had not activated any audio output device
(or rather only the null audio driver). After switching to ALSA
everything works fine.
Anyway this should probably better lead not to a stalled program.

A backtrace as described in

from within Ubuntustudio 8.10. I tried to play an ogg/theora movie I exported
from Kino before.
