[Bug 32436] Dapper Flight 4: AmaroK crashes when trying to play .mp3 or .wav from a Samba share

Affects: amarok (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
I'm using a clean install of Kubuntu Dapper Flight 4, although I have
upgraded all installed packages via apt-get dist-upgrade. When I browse
Samba shares and try to play .mp3 or .wav files, AmaroK instantly
crashes. If I manually copy the files to my home directory, it doesn't
crash. Playing .ogg files from Samba share works perfectly, so I suspect
this not to be a Samba issue. Kaffeine also crashes when trying to play
.mp3 or .wav files from a Samba share.

I think that the behaviour should be the same, whether playing files
from the same computer or from Samba share. If that is not possible,
then the program should give an informative error message and not crash.


Here is the given debug information:

amaroK has crashed! We're terribly sorry about this :(

But, all is not lost! You could potentially help us fix the crash.
amaroK has attached a backtrace that describes the crash, so just click
send, or if you have time, write a brief description of how the crash
happened first.

Many thanks.
