Hello,

I do not know how to report a bug, so I am posting here...

I have a bug with VLC when I modify the playback speed.

How to reproduce it:
Open any file (video or audio), play it, click on the trackbar to modify the playback speed and scroll up and down. If after 10 seconds scrolling up and down VLC still did not crash, close it, it should crash.
(To be sure to reproduce the bug, scroll fast enough in the trackbar)

I could see this problem with VLC 0.9.4 on windows 2003 server, windows XP and with VLC 0.9.5 on ubuntu 8.10.
On windows VLC crashes with the message "The memory could not be read.", on ubuntu it says "Segmentation Fault".

I downloaded the nigthly build vlc-0.9.6-git-20081104-0204-win32.exe, the problem is still presents here.

Could you try with the nighlit build of vlc to see if the bug is still present in the developpement vrsion of vlc ?

Hi, I tried with the today nightly build : vlc-0.9.6-git-20081105-0204-win32.exe

This problem is still present.

I was able to see that it should come from the sound because when the error occured, I could still see my video playing but there was no sound anymore.

Sorry I wan speaking about the trunk version, that you can get from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 1105-0011/ (not sure if this exe is fully working) but you can try if your bug still exist.

Hm, I am not able to run this build.

I will check if I have more luck with the tomorrow one.

Hi, this problem is still present in the 0.9.6 release, are you able to reproduce it by following my instructions?

I'm not able to reproduce this bug with the trunk version, I will try to test with 0.9.6 branch.
