hi,
I found the problem actually right after sending the email (but it is still a bug in xine):
XINECMD="$XINEPRG -L -A alsa -a spdif --no-splash -g -f -V xv --stdctl vdr://tmp/vdr-xine/stream#demux:mpeg_pes --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --verbose=2"
The --stdctl option causes xine to crash if it is used when starting from the script...
gdb backtrace:
Core was generated by `/usr/local/bin/xine -L -A alsa -a spdif --no-splash -g -f -V xv --stdctl vdr://'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x080f888c in destroy_oxine (oxine=0x0) at oxine.c:710 710 if (oxine->otk) otk_free(oxine->otk); (gdb) bt #0 0x080f888c in destroy_oxine (oxine=0x0) at oxine.c:710 #1 0x080f8906 in oxine_exit () at oxine.c:731 #2 0x08050a1c in gui_exit (w=0x0, data=0x0) at actions.c:607 #3 0x080592d8 in gui_execute_action_id (action=ACTID_QUIT) at event.c:564 #4 0x0809a6e8 in xine_stdctl_loop (dummy=0x0) at stdctl.c:152 #5 0xb7c2a240 in start_thread () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 #6 0xb7d0249e in clone () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (gdb)
