Yeah, it does have some crashes, but I think most of them are because of
bugs in gst-python and/or gstreamer itself. All the thread-sensitive
parts of Sputnik uses the gstreamer pipeline bus to communicate with the
rest of the application, which should automagically take care of any
threading issues.

Many of the crashes I used to see were solved by upgrading gstreamer,
and now I only have a couple of crashes a day with 10+ hours of
playback. I'll get in touch with the gst-python and gstreamer guys and
try to track them down.


Likely suspects would be the iradio-handling in gnomevfssrc, try to
comment out the iradio-stuff on line 152-156 of src/lib/media.py and see
if it helps.

Yes, this has been fixed in version 0.0.3.

Ah, indeed. Thought I had, but apparently not - should be fixed now.

Great :) Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.
