A recent update seems to be causing amarok to
crash when I attempt to
play a song. I get the usual signal 11 stuff of the gui. From the

Invalid write to eventfd: Bad file descriptor
Code should not be reached at pulsecore/fdsem.c:199, function

Any idea as to what might be causing this? It's happening on all pclos
boxes.
Well, the error message is bubbling up from pulseaudio, so either amaroK
is
passing it the wrong thing, or pulse has a bug. So, the first question
is, do you
actually need any functionality pulseaudio provides and alsa doesn't? If
not, I would kill it—it's just one more thing that can go wrong on your
system.
look in the message
Invalid write to eventfd: Bad file descriptor - could be even something
outside PA.
And yes there is a lot that PA provides and ALSO does not.
No, it does not work wrong - especially the 12.2-4+deb10u1 is very good.
You might still want to file a bug against
amaroK, though. If you do, it
would be a good idea to include the exact version of pulseaudio that's
causing the problem, and check with your distro to see if they're using
any patches that might affect fdsem.c
Most important is the way to reproduce.
I do not use amarok personally - my father does all the time - with PA.
Never complained so far.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I think
it's an amarok problem because it's the only program affected.
I have amarok's engine as alsa. When I turn off pulseaudio amarok doesn't work
regardless of the engine I choose.
I installed Clementine and it works fine.
Something happened to somewhere that only affects amarok.
It may be a pclos exclusive problem.
At this point, I'm lost.

I'm having the same issue with Amarok, I don't know what has caused it, I have had
too many updates to say which could have been the offending update. Just of note, if you
are running "intel" graphics that use i915 driver and 5.4.x kernel you may get
some font corruption if still using GDM to login, easiest "fix" is to go to pcc
>> boot, and change the display manager to TDM
