Audacity for Linux crashes when music is played too slow

Post by lolriffic » Tue Aug 10, 2010 9:59 pm

When I tried playing the music 0.30x and below, Audacity crashed and I have no clue why... I use the beta version for Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

It's a known bug that occurs because Ubuntu choose to build Audacity with the libsamplerate sample rate converter instead of the default libresample. The only workarounds are to slow the track with Effect > Change Speed instead (assuming that doesn't crash); or uninstall the Ubuntu Audacity package and compile the source tarball using default configuration.
