This is not a crash on our socket thread. I guess it's a crash in a thread that tries to upload a report to crash-stats? Anyway, all reports seem to have some exception on a thread which calls cubeb_init().

Paul, would you mind first pass triaging this?

Comment 4

[Paul Adenot (:padenot)]

This is trying to open cubeb from the RDD, and it can't, of course, it's locked down tighter than the content process and can't access what it needs. It's a bit surprising that it crashes instead of erroring out, but maybe it's what it does in Nightly.

[Paul Adenot (:padenot)]

Instead of this patch, we need to be able to know how many output channels the default audio output device has.

fix optional for 70 given the low volume

Comment 8

[Michael Froman [:mjf]]

Even though this crash is dropped to zero (mostly likely a result of Haik's fixes from Bug 1566540), it is caused by Opus touching audio backends on RDD (which is sandboxed more tightly than content processes). The change to fix how Opus handles the mono downmix decision is coming in Bug 1567389. I'm marking this bug a duplicate of Bug 1567389.
