Knotify Problem

[todzualen]

I updated a lot of stuff using swaret including KDE now knotify keeps crashing due to an arts problem this is what I get when I change anything in the Sound System part of Control center "Knotify crashed and caused a signal 11"
I did not update alsa this time because I've had this problem before and thought that was the issue.
anyway here is the backtrace.

Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

of course sound will not work, also amarok keeps crashing (closing) with no reason given I get this when starting from console.

ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstxine.so

Please either:
- remove it and restart.
- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.

When trying to play anything in Juk I get the application Soundserver (artsd) crashed and caused a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) the same thing as knotify pretty much.

and for the backtrace on this I get
This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem since I updated to KDE 3.3.1 and the same with now 3.3.2.
While the sound works without problem, just trying to make a change to the sound system configuration causes a crash. In my case I wanted to reduce the suspend time. Nevertheless after restart the new setting is applied.
Can't figure out the cause myself. Some library incompatibility maybe???
