Bug#44811: Noatun halts on playback

[zakariya at earthlink.net]

Package: noatun
Version: 2.0.0 (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity: crash
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-gentoo-r7
OS/Compiler notes: 

This didn't happen under any previous version of KDE on this particular machine (3.0, 3.01).

Anyhow, on playback of any kind of audio file (I haven't tried video) Noatun simply halts. I ran it from command line just now, the error message is below:

ll noatun

...&c.

To my inexperienced eyes, this looks like a socket (?) issue. I guess it can't open() the socket arts produces for playback.

This is particularly odd, because every other media app is working just fine. Kaboodle, mplayer (through artsdsp), &c. &c. So it's clearly not an arts or sound driver issue.

For reference, I'm using alsa. Just in case that matters.

I hope you folks can fix this -- I love noatun. Very much. I'm going to have to downgrade to 3.0.1 until this is fixed.
