retitle 336437 libxine1: use of internal libmad makes other apps crash in amd64
reassign 336437 libxine1 1.0.1-1
thanks
Hello,
there is a grave bug against the amarok package (#336437) reporting
that amarok crashes on amd64 when playing mp3 files with the xine
engine.
Modestas Vainius investigated the problem further [1], and found out
the root of the crashes to lie in two copies of libmad being loaded
into memory: xine's internal copy, and the one that gets loaded via
libtunepimp, which the amarok binary DT_NEEDs.

From reading some docs (e.g. [2]), it sounds like from XINE 1.1.1
onwards, the use of external libmad is preferred, so please switch to
that in the next upstream version that enters Debian.

Thanks,
