Public bug reported:

Hello,

I have some Norwegian radio channels which I listen to via the Totem
media player.  Sometimes Totem crashes when I switch to a new radio
channel (stream).

I normally use the Streamtuner application to keep track of radio channel names 
their URLs.  Streamtuner also starts the Totem media player to play the stream 
when I select a channel.
See picture picture_1: http://www.futuredesktop.org/images/gutsy/picture_8c.jpg 
and picture_2: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardy/alpha5/streamtuner.png 

The error is:
Totem crashes when I switch from radio URL "NRK Alltid Nyheter" ( 
http://radio.hiof.no/nrk-alltid-nyheter-172.ogg ) to "Kanal 24" ( 
mms://live.alleredge.com/AE_Kanal24_High ).  If I restart the "Kanal 24" couple 
of times,  Totem will most likely crash and disappears from the desktop. It 
just quits without error message. 

Streamtuner is totally irrelevant here. So I created a tiny shell script
that feeds two URLs to the Totem media player.  It makes Totem crash
repeatedly (every time).

Here is the script: http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardy/alpha5/radio1.sh

Get it: 
$ wget http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardy/alpha5/radio1.sh

Run it
$ sh radio1.sh

Totem will most likely crash when the script sends it the URLs.  
The question is:  Why does not Totem tolerate fast switching from one stream 
URL to another?

This is a very tiny bug (if bug at all), but it still needs an explanation ;-)
--------------------------------


Additional information:

Here is my streamtuner settings (files) with some radio streams to test with. 
Do 
$ sudo apt-get install streamtuner streamripper
$ cd $HOME 
$ wget http://www.edbl.no/tmp/hardy/alpha5/streamtuner.tar 
$ tar -xvf streamtuner.tar 

Start it
$ streamtuner
# Note: Streamtuner is old and hardly maintained anymore.

BTW: A collection of all world's radio channels. Enjoy.
