    I'm having multiple issues with some common media apps under SuSE 9.0:

     1. xmms crashes (segfaults) more often than not when opening playlists
        (.m3u files), all of which were created with GRIP and work just fine
        with alsaplayer or zinf. I open the "Play files" dialog, select a
        m3u file, click "Play", and xmms crashes almost every time! Anyone
        have any ideas?

     2. Running toc2cue on TOC files created by cdrdao (in either read-toc
        or read-cd mode) results in zero-length CUE files. There are no
        diagnostics and a trace of the program looks normal. I see in several
        email forums that people have regularly used this program successfully.
        Has anyone here had the problem I've observed? The TOC files look OK.
        What I want to do is create single-file FLAC archives of my CD
        collection with embedded cuesheets. "cdrdao" only creates "toc"
        files and "flac" only takes "cue" files [sigh ...]. Any ideas?

     3. easytag hangs when run and never draws the GUI. Tracing it shows
        that it is blocked on a read from stdin. Entering EOF on stdin
        (e.g., by running it on the cmdline and entering "^D" or by
        redirecting /dev/null to stdin when running it) results in a crash
        (segfault). From the docs, I have no idea why it should be reading
        from stdin in the first place. Has anyone been able to use easytag
        as shipped under SuSE-9.0? I need to edit the tags, etc., on some
        [mostly ogg] files created via GRIP.

    My setup:
    - SuSE Linux 9.0 with all recommended & security updates from SuSE
    - xmms-1.2.8-61 (stock SuSE 9.0)
    - cdrdao-1.1.7-232 (stock SuSE 9.0)
    - easytag-0.28-128 (stock SuSE 9.0)

    I have both KDE (stock 3.1.4) and GNOME (stock 2.2.2) fully installed,
    though I'm using KDE as my desktop. BTW, easytag has the same problem
    whether run under either KDE or GNOME.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Phil
