Have you sent this bug report to PV directly? He does not usually read
this group.

After a bit of googling, and noting the following in the Changelog:

"ap/flac-1.1.2-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to flac-1.1.2. Note that the library
versions for FLAC have changed, so anything using the FLAC libraries
will need to be recompiled. If I've missed anything, let me know."

I reverted to the flac-1.1.1 package from (10.1) and xmms worked fine.

Better solution (sometime) would probably be to recompile xmms.

Same problem here, same workaround... but, I even built xmms from
sources, thinking that will solve the problem, before discovering
MALLOC_CHECK_ workaround

Was the version of xmms you were using the one provided in -current at the
time flac 1.1.2 was released? An easy way to check is to see if the
Changelog mentions a new version of xmms from that date to present. If
xmms hasn't been updated since then, drop PV a line to let him know that
xmms has problems with the new version of flac. Actually, I just managed
to get the Changelog to load while writing this and there's a flac patch
released on Tuesday June 14th for xmms, so there's no need to mail PV on
this issue, but keep this in mind for the future. If you have a problem
and a solution and Changelog does not mention a solution, email PV your
solution.

Sorry, i misread your post, i tought you were supposing that recompiling
xmms would have solved the problem.

I did. And I was wrong But, hey, day later, the patch comes, xmms
works again, and as usual, I am happy Slackware user )))
