Subject: FIREFOX_DSP="esddsp" does not work and will hang Firefox on closing pages with sound

Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2005 17:34:09 -0500

Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0+dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal

As the subject says. I am running GNOME 2.8 with ESD. I expect that
having FIREFOX_DSP="esddsp" in my ~/.mozilla-firefoxrc should allow
Firefox to output sound to ESD. Instead, any applets or Flash animations
that require access to sound will fail to output any sound, and in most
cases they will freeze when they try to access sound as well. More
importantly, when I try to close the window/tab containing an
applet/animation, Firefox hangs, and I have had to use the Force Quit
dialog to make it go away (losing all my other tabs/windows in the
process).

When I set FIREFOX_DSP to "auto", "artsdsp", and "none", the
applets/animations run fine, just with no sound. Firefox also is able to
close those tabs/windows.

The most recent example I have come across of a Flash plugin that has
sound is http://www.novell.com/linux/windowstolinux/publicservice/. I am
using the Macromedia Flash plugin provided by package
flashplugin-nonfree.

Works fine for me. Are you sure esd is running? Do you have
esound-clients installed? Does sound work in other apps?

I do have esound-clients installed. I'm almost certain esd is running,
as sound works for other apps, including general GNOME sounds,
Evolution, Gaim, and gstreamer, which I've set to use esdsink.

Hmm...I do have udev installed, if that makes any difference.

Just to refresh my memory, is this a flash issue as well or more
general?

I'm not sure. The only place I know there's a Java Applet with sound is
Yahoo! Games (especially in Yahoo! Towers). In that applet, even though
I have sound set as enabled, I don't get any sound. The window does
close without hanging Firefox, though.

Can you suggest the URL of a page with a Java Applet with sound that I
can try opening?

Subject: Flash requires libesd.so.1; still don't know about Java

Date: Sun, 22 May 2005 01:09:06 -0400

Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.4-2
Followup-For: Bug #293810

Okay...I poked at this issue some more tonight, and I fixed Flash (and I
will be filing a new flashplugin-nonfree bug in a moment). No progress
on Java, though.

I found that if I did 'ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1',
sound in Flash with esddsp now works. Apparently, Macromedia's
compilation expected libesd to be in a different place...

I still haven't gotten Java's sound to work (tested against
http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/sound/sound.html and
http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/play_a_piano.html ). There were also
some stability issues after closing and reopening Firefox after trying a
Java applet with sound, but I haven't been able to pinpoint a particular
behavior.

In other notes...

When I run mozilla-firefox from the command line, it warns me that
~/.mozilla-firefoxrc has been deprecated in favor of
~/.mozilla/firefox/rc. You might want to update the README.Debian about
that.

The mozilla-firefox man page suggests setting FIREFOX_DSP to "esd", but
this breaks with whatever scripts Debian is using; it should be
"esddsp". You might want to check whether "arts" is right or not as
well.

Err, what version are you using of flashplayer? I've not got that
symlink on my machine, and flashplayer works fine. Here's an
experiment for you: Remove the /usr/lib/libesd.so.1 symlink and
install libesd0-dev and see if that solves the problem as well. Also,
an strace of firefox with the lines where flashplayer is opening
/usr/lib/libesd.so.1 might be helpful. I can't imagine why flashplayer
would want /usr/lib/libesd.so.1, there's never been a
/usr/lib/libesd.so.1 to my knowledge.

Followup-For: Bug #293810

Sorry for getting back so late.

At some point in the past couple months, I removed the libesd.so.1
symlink (I don't actually remember doing this, but it was gone when I
checked today). I was quite annoyed by a couple Firefox hangs I
experienced today and then remembered this bug. (I was browsing c|net
and I noticed that every time I tried to play a video, I would get no
sound, and then when I went to close the tab, Firefox would hang.)

I tried installing libesd0-dev, and that indeed solved the problem with
flash. Strange... I will be updating the information in bug #310164.

On the other hand, sound in Java with either libesd.so.1 or libesd0-dev
is still broken. It luckily doesn't hang Firefox, though.

Subject: Patch to fix esddsp crash with Firefox

Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2006 19:10:28 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi!

Sorry for posting to two bugs, but I couldn't really decide which one
to post to, and it would be nice to have both the Firefox and the
esound maintainer in the loop. :)

I also encountered firefox crashes when /etc/firefox/firefoxrc had
FIREFOX_DSP="auto", i. e. used esddsp under Gnome. I debugged this for
a while, and Tollef finally found the reason: for some reason
dsp_init() is called multiple times which caused race conditions with
the global variables. Protecting the function body with a mutex helped
to fix the crash.

The patch is available at

  http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/esound.esddsp-crash.patch

it might not fix all possible races, but at least helps to fix the
crash here.

Thanks for considering,

Martin

Followup-For: Bug #293810
Subscribe: mennucc1@debian.org

I was plauged by the above bug, that is:
 when I set FIREFOX_DSP="auto" or ="esddsp" , and the flash plugin
 tries to play sound, the plugin hangs and then firefox hangs.
This is particularly annoying since video.google.com uses flash.

When I set  FIREFOX_DSP="none" it works fine; similarly if I link
$ ln -s /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
it all works OK.

yes, sure

C.Marillat has a repository of Debian packages at
http://debian.video.free.fr/

the above package installs Macromedia flash player; it is not very different
from 'flashplayer-nonfree' that is in Debian/nonfree

Anyway the bug that I observed is not IMO related to the flash packaging:
indeed I tried to
1)  remove that package
2) open video.google.com
3) Firefox declared that the plugin was missing,proposed to install the plugin
4) I said yes
5) the plugin was installed in my home dir
6) firefox went back to video.google.com
7) it hanged as before

Hello folks,

Wouldn't it be proper to remove the unreproducible flag, since this 
crash is quite common. And since it contains a patch it could be 
flagged as, well, +patch. And dunno about the upstream but it may
even be fixed, so I don't have to force DSP to none....

My 2 'cents.

It doesn't much matter, since the patch is for another package (I'm
working on the assumption that the patch actually fixes the problem,
which seems to be affect mostly am64 people).  So it doesn't matter
what happens to all the duplicate firefox bugs, since there's already
a handful of duplicate esound bugs. :)

Your bug is also different in that you're not running amd64, so it
doesn't trigger the "reassign or merge" alarm in my head.

Hell, if life just could be simple. :)

Firefox just started to crash (good old sig11), bus error is absent
since I disabled darned esd. Oh well, life is full of fun. But tracking
sig11 is a nightmare, so I belive I'll just sit and wait. :-/

This appears to be one of the first filings of the now infamous esddsp

Each time I try to open a site my iceweasel crushes, it all started after I changed my homepage.
The thing is that I tried reinstalling and deleting all the files before installing again,

Dear Firefox/Iceweasel user,

Thanks for your interest in Firefox/Iceweasel and the bug report you have contributed.

Your bug report [0] was done for a version which isn't a part of debian anymore. Debian 4.0 (Etch) was released with version 2.0.0.3.

Please reproduce your bug on an updated version of Iceweasel and confirm it 
still exists, or close it as irrelevant for recent versions. 

If you don't know or are not sure how to update or close your bug report, 
please contact me directly, and I'll help you.

IMPORTANT: In any case, please provide version info, as we use it to determine 
the relevance of the bug.
