Ok, uade seems to crash everytime it changes subsong, on songend and when trying to go to next subsong manually from "progress bar"

Which distro? And which output plugin? Gentoo + alsa? Dmix?

On beepmp.sf.net there's some announcement about gentoo alsa problems with other media players as well, btw.

I'm using gentoo, and alsa without dmix. I dont have problems with alsa mith media players and also with beep-media-player when playing mp3/ogg's

But yes, I'm using alsa output plugin with bmp, I dont have oss plugin compiled in afaik, but I can do so for testing purposes if its needed?

Gentoo...  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-313030.html 
Could you check your alsa version.

Hmmh, alsa output compared to OSS in Beep (and XMMS) is terribly instable from my experience... (Had troubles with it in past too. But they seem to be gone now by magic, odd :)

Before compiling OSS. Do you have ESD handy. If you have could you try the Beeps Esound Output.

ps. btw. running beep 0.9.7 and uade 1.0.1 (latest cvs but nothing relevant changed concerning the plugins) here too and I can change...
pps. I'm off for the weekend.

Same behaviour as with alsa, but I'm using alsa-oss emulation and I WONT install native oss anymore as it sucks on my hardware :) ESD is also no no, I have enough useless crap already on my computer :)

I have alsa-driver compiled in my kernel and it seems to be:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.8 (Thu Jan 13 09:39:32 2005 UTC).
with alsa lib: media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.9_rc2-r1

just out of curiousity, how could it be alsa causing this problem when changing subtune, when song changing is working anyway?

ps. forgot to mention earlier that everything works ok when I check out option to switch to next subtune on song end. I still cannot switch to another subtune manually without crash, but atleast I can listen playlist without crashes now :)

If you can come up with something, good. We've already debugged this problem a bit with Grue. It seems a tough one..
