python music players keep seg faulting

Recently, exaile refuses to play music files.  When I launch it from a shell:

$ exaile 
INFO    : Loading Exaile 0.3.2.0...
INFO    : Loading settings...
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
INFO    : Loading plugins...

INFO    : Done loading main window...
INFO    : Playing file:///media/data/DM/file.flac
Segmentation fault

Also tried rhythmbox with the same results:

$ rhythmbox

** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
Segmentation fault

Finally, banshee crashes as well:

I know there is a great python rebuild underway, but I do not have any testing repo enabled.  Running x86_64 with Gnome (seems like this behavior started happening after 2.32 got pulled down).

I can use vlc or xmms to play all sorts of files (mp3, flac, etc.) with no problems so it's definitely pointing to a python problem I think...

Advice is welcomed.

Re: python music players keep seg faulting

Exaile is working fine for me (MP3, OGG) today after a full 'pacman -Syu' last night.

Re: python music players keep seg faulting

I thought this might be related to alsa so I removed it and installed oss but I get the same crap.

Only relavant debug info is a one-liner from dmesg:

source:src[3549]: segfault at ffffffffffffffff ip ffffffffffffffff sp 00007f38113d8828 error 14
