Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P5)

Description

[Torsten Römer]

Attachment: FirefoxCrash.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150417180400

Steps to reproduce:

Playing many (ca. 600+) small MP3 audio files using <audio> tag within an hour or two on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Firefox 37.0.2 with package "ubuntu-restricted-addons" (gstreamer, ...) installed, so Firefox supports MP3 audio.


Actual results:

It works well until always the same crash occurs, always after playing roughly the same amount of audio files.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Expected results:

Segmentation fault should not happen.

Crash does not seem to happen when playing OGG instead of MP3 files.
