ddb_out_pw.so failed to load

[brainbow1]

Deadbeef is closing randomly, after finishing a random track the program just disappears and I have to reopen it. Then after opening it again I get the following in the log:

dlopen error: /opt/deadbeef/lib/deadbeef/ddb_out_pw.so: undefined symbol: PW_LOG_TOPIC_DEFAULT trying /opt/deadbeef/lib/deadbeef/ddb_out_pw.fallback.so... plugin ddb_out_pw.so not found or failed to load

I use ALSA output plugin..

I dont use Pipewire, and I dont have this plugin in my .local/lib/deadbeef directory.... thats why I dont understand this "failed to load".... Do u think the randomly exiting is connected with this plugin? Where would u start searching for the problem? I appreciate any ideas...

Deadbeef version 1.9.5 comes with pipewire plugin now. If you have a very old version of pipewire libraries required by that plugin installed then you may get this error. If you really don't need it and don't want to fix your distro then you can simply delete the /opt/deadbeef/lib/deadbeef/ddb_out_pw.so file.

Deadbeef binary downloaded from the website is built in an Ubuntu 16.04 environment so expects libraries no older than what shipped with that version of Ubuntu.

I'm curious what distro and version do you run this on? Do you have Pipewire installed (often installed and used for video only on older distros).

thanks a lot for the answer! Ah I didnt know that pipewire was installed... It is installed and apt tells me it is version 0.3.19-4.

OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) x86_64 Kernel: 6.0.0-0.deb11.6-amd64 x86_64 DE: Xfce 4.16 WM: Xfwm4

In the Debian bullseye repos, pipewire is version: 0.3.19-4 In the Debian bookworm repos, pipewire is version: 0.3.65-2

bookworm is becoming stable until the end of summer I guess. As soon as that's the case, I want to upgrade to bookworm anyway :-)

In the past, I tried pipewire as my main audio driver but it was so buggy that I decided to wait for bookworm stable, and then delete pulseaudio completely, and use pipewire for anything.

But for now I want to simply stick with ALSA.... that's why I now have deleted /opt/deadbeef/lib/deadbeef/ddb_out_pw.so

Do you think the random crashes after playing a few songs have something to do with that ddb_out_pw.so dlopen error and should be history now...?

Regarding ALSA and Deadbeef, and how they interact with each other, I think you know more about this as I do.. Maybe you can tell me something regarding this topic, that I have opened in reddit?

I appreciate any help a lot, that contributes to using Deadbeef stable and being able to enjoy it :-)

I realized that the crash always happens randomly, after a few tracks, when a track ends, and the next should begin... I started deadbeef via terminal to observe whats going on, and it gives me the following:
