I just posted the workaround for that crash:

      http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/tmp/vlc-2.0.3-009.patch

Thanks for the newest patch! The change from
sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) to LINE_MAX + 1 works nice here. No core
dumps any more and sound via pulseaudio is working again :)

     I'll Cc the pulseaudio port maintainers (gnome@), maybe they have
an idea?

Did you forgot to Cc gnome@ (even on the other thread)?

    Yeah, I manually forwarded the mail when I noticed.

I tried out a little bit the build without pulseaudio enabled. It seems
to me, that the sound of vlc is somewhat noisy or dirty, especially for
parts with more dynamics. This scratchy noise grows up when gain control
comes over 100% (up to 200% is possible). Can anyone confirm this?

    I haven't noticed that here, maybe your soundcard is clipping etc
due to too high mixer levels?

Hmm, possible, but unlikely. This worked pretty good with version 1.1.13
and as I wrote, gain control was set in the middle (100%). But now, with
pulseaudio enabled again, there is not problem with damaged sound
quality any more.

Btw it's still possible that different mixer items cause different
clipping etc, for example vol 100 and pcm low sounds worse than
vol 75 and pcm higher, etc.  (Maybe pulseaudio does that...?)

OK, thanks for the hint. I will have a further look at mixer. There are
also some combinations like with kmix etc., that are not exactly
represented in mixer settings ...

And last but not least: When I deinstall vlc I get the following
message:
pkg_delete: '/usr/local/lib/vlc/plugins/plugins.dat' fails original MD5
checksum - deleted anyway.

    That's the file whose generating crashed when building with the old
vlc still installed, maybe it's regenerated at runtime otherwise?

No, it also fails original MD5 checksum with deinstall/reinstall within
2.0.3.

Thanks again for your work on this port.
Rainer

    You're welcome! :)

I just found two other problems, which at least occur on my system
(10.0-CURRENT amd64):

(1) With option NOTIFY enabled I am able to build, but not to install
vlc. It gives me:

[...]

(2) Option PROJM builds and installs, but crashes when I try to start it
within vlc:

No Textures Loaded from /usr/local/share/projectM/textures
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

As far as I can see, there is no path to projectM/textures (installed
from libprojectM) on FreeBSD, but to projectM/presets?

   I'll have to look at that next...

Hmm, cannot seem to reproduce this one, sorry.  (Or do I have to do
something special in vlc to activate it?  I just tried playing a
video file...)

I have the problem with ProjectM when playing audio files and turn the
ProjectM visualizations on. It immediately crashes.

Yes, I meanwhile found this too.  Maybe our projectm port version
is too old?

I think I got it: It is only a problem of configuring in the running vlc. You have to set the right path under 'Settings','All','Audio','Visualizing','projectM'. That's all ;-)

Greetings,
Rainer


  Thanx,
