The options are to revert the offending patch for 9.0 (leaving the underlying problem unaddressed, but this is not a regression). The alternative is to look at merging my patches to drop json-c as a dep soon. Root cause from email discussion follows: ---- Okay, so this is a fun one. The offending commit is: commit 12a202c510dcacbd2b85fcc1170484eb16fef491 Author: Arun Raghavan <<a href="mailto:git@arunraghavan.net">git@arunraghavan.net</a>> Date: Thu Dec 31 09:27:56 2015 +0530 format: Make pa_format_info_valid() stricter for PCM We should do stricter validation when we can. The check fails at: if (json_object_get_type(o) != json_type_string) { pa_log_debug("Format info property '%s' type is not string.", key); json_object_put(o); return -PA_ERR_INVALID; } Rhythmbox and Totem are linked to the json-glib library which *also* has a json_object_get_type(). That is the function which gets called, and returns a junk type which makes this code fail.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
