460096 - firefox crashes when playing simple <video> on Fedora 8

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

Testing on the 3.1b1 final build on Linux from mozilla.org.

I'm getting a crash when visiting this url and playing the video:

http://people.mozilla.com/~vladimir/mdemos/video1.html

Here's a crash report:

http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/pending/506e5ee8-9aec-11dd-b40a-001cc45a2c28

Looks like it's sound-related.  There's an error on the console right before the crash:

firefox-bin: pcm_params.c:2333: sndrv_pcm_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0' failed.

I tried this in my Ubuntu 8.04 VM and it seems to work fine.  So it might be a linking and/or distro-specific issue.

Chris, have you seen problems on newer Fedora releases?  I don't have one handy.  

For Chris I just want to make sure this won't hurt for older RHEL releases, or for Alexander for older LTS releases.

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

Not reproducible for me on Windows XP latest trunk.

This should be fixed with Bug 461135 having landed. Can anyone confirm if it still happens on Fedora?

Lookin' good here.  Marking fixed.
