Cabman Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Update: This does not appear to happen with the client from bluaps ppa, but it was recreated on another computer with the website download running Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted May 7, 2015 Yep, I've also confirmed it myself now. I built the static linux binary as well as the Ubuntu ppa. I'll look into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Interestingly, I've just tried the 1.9.3 static binary and it crashes in the same way. Weird it was never reported before. At least that means that its nothing in the vast set of changes since the 1.9.3 release which included a major set of bug fixes for sound. The problem now is how to find a fix.

bluap Report post Posted May 8, 2015 So far it looks like this is not a client issue but a pulseaudio problem. The static binaries are build on an older version of Ubuntu so there could be some mismatch between the old libraries included in the static build and the daemon running on our machines. There are similar issues reported with other statically linked applications. I have a work around that turns off audio before starting the browser, then turns it back on afterwards. This works buts obviously causes a short break in playback, restarting most active effects and restarting any playing music track. I'll continue looking....
