Control: retitle 925553 audacity: with ssh X-forwarding:
PaAlsaStreamComponent_BeginPolling: Assertion `ret == self->nfds' failed.
Hello Jeff Cliff,
I looked at this backtrace without deeper knowledge of
audacity and the problem might not be a segfault in
mentioned funciton, instead a SIGABRT from pulseaudio.
Instead I guess it is in the first backtrace of yours,
showing in libportaudio.so.2.
By the way, installing the debug symbols [1] would be helpful
for the maintainers to get an idea of where the problem is.
In this case package libportaudio2-dbgsym.
Having audacity running in gdb with an active breakpoint
at PaAlsaStreamComponent_BeginPolling and just continuing
a few times leads to such a backtrace.
(But my "network" connection was just into a VM on the same host.)
Did you also debug audacity or did you let it run freely?
Is your ssh connection over a slow network link?
Should this bug be reassigned to pulseaudio?
Kind regards,
Bernhard
