You may safely assume that - I haven't seen the crashing bug since upgrad=
e
of kdebase and kdelibs. That is, until:

Your guess may be wild, but it does hit the mark. I am using Autoselect
(I don't know how to see what the autoselect function ends up selecting).
When I change the setting to use ALSA explicitly, the crashing bug is bac=

with a vengeance.

(The setting is KDE Control Center/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System/
Hardware.)
