Failed to open audio: Fragment size must be a power of two

Wait I still need help! For some reason After I booted up this moring it would'nt work. I got the same problem I tried reinstalling and nothing happened. I dug deeper and found the problem.

(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/gvbam 
(no debugging symbols found)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0xb6bc0710 (LWP 6927)]
0xb72264f0 in pthread_mutex_lock () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
(gdb) bt

#5  0x08073317 in main ()
(gdb)

So i guess The problem is hear "from /usr/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0" or here from "/lib/libpthread.so.0" whats SDL? Whats libpthread? What do i do?

EDIT: I did some research and I dont think its sdl i tried to reinstall it anyway and no luck and Libpthread seems knod of important. Im pretty sure that this is the problem

 #0  0xb72264f0 in pthread_mutex_lock () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
