Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

Go to Preferences -> Video -> select any driver -> select xv. Then gmplayer will crash with:
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: unknown
and then I get two error messages (screenshots attached). Installing mplayer-dbg does not provide more information.

 SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: mplayer
Uname: Linux 2.6.30-9-generic x86_64

I'm also seeing this behaviour in mplayer in an up-to-date karmic install. Funnily enough, launching a video via the command

mplayer -vo xv /path/to/video.avi

works fine. The terminal output I see after reproducing the GUI crash (which is 100% reproducible in my computer) is the following:

$ gmplayer

mplayer: could not connect to socket

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: unknown
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
 [ This binary of MPlayer in Debian is currently compiled with
   '--enable-debug'; the debugging symbols are in the package
   'mplayer-dbg'.]

This is still an issue in 10.04 Beta 1. I am having the same results as Miguel Martinez.
