[SOLVED] Thunderbird 6 crashing with libcanberra-pulse error on Gnome3

Thunderbird starts up and immediately bugs out while checking for new (pop3) mail :

/usr/lib/thunderbird-6.0/thunderbird-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libcanberra-0.28/libcanberra-pulse.so: undefined symbol: ca_mutex_new

Attempting to create a new profile resulted in same crash

...erm... help!

Re: [SOLVED] Thunderbird 6 crashing with libcanberra-pulse error on Gnome3

As the new media has been released I bit the bullet and reinstalled. It was kinda due as the install I had been running on was my 1st Arch installation and there were a few things that I wanted to do differently.

I knew I had existing unresolved audio issues - of my own making - which may tie up with the libcanberra problems experienced here.

A clean install from the new ISO appears to have fixed the errors reported here So I can only guess that (I) screwed something along the way or it may be new kernel related - which is the easy target to blame at the moment

Re: [SOLVED] Thunderbird 6 crashing with libcanberra-pulse error on Gnome3

I confirm the workaround works for me.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcanberra.so.0 firefox

Sorry, I don't undertand the underpinings of this hack, I can't explain :-(
