This appears to be the same as KDE bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232068

This is technically due to the way phonon+gstreamer tries to use pulse but then
falls back to alsa (which in turn is configured to use pulse via the alsa PA
plugin). This triggered some bugs in alsa lib that cause this crash.

To cut a long story short, it's an alsa-lib bug which has been fixed, but only
in git. If you want the specific patches to apply on top of alsa-lib 1.0.23, I
recommend these ones:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/libalsa2/current/SOURCES/?pathrev=597366

(all the 01??-*.patch files)

So i think this can probably be marked as resolved upstream but having not read
all the comments I'd rather let the people involved decide that.
