mplayer can't play through pulseaudio networking stream

Description

mplayer plays ok to the default pulse device (-ao pulse), but when the host is specified it crashes, see log below.
This prevents streaming audio between hosts, which is an important feature today.

mplayer-1.1.r20120721_1 on FreeBSD-9.1 amd64

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: ao2_init

  • 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.

Here is the stack trace:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000008088b86f0 in strchr () from /lib/libc.so.7
#1 0x00000000004cbf78 in init (rate_hz=44100, channels=1, format=29, flags=0) at libao2/ao_pulse.c:159

#4 0x000000000046a0b0 in main (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffdad0) at mplayer.c:3613

And here is the line that crashes:
opts = strchr(sink, ':');

sink is null here.

Obviously mplayer was expecting the output sink string but man page documents pulse strin g like this: [<host>[:<output sink>[:broken_pause]]], therefore <output sink> is optional and some default should be used.

After looking into this a bit more, I found that simple workaround like this localhost:: works. So the issue seems to be simple: mplayer just can't handle missing extra fields (sink,options) as it should.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

You are using an outdated version, this was fixed already 3 weeks ago in r35296.
