Fedora 16 - Quite a lot of KDE stuff crashing

[Eli Wapniarski]

I had the same problem.

Try to see if you can configure System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon.

If you can prioritize the gstreamer backend instead of the vlc backend, I'll 
bet the crashes will disappear. If it crashes then you will need to edit the 
file:

/home/eli/.kde/share/config/servicetype_profilerc

It should look something like

[PhononBackend]
Entry0_Preference=3
Entry0_Service=phononbackends/gstreamer.desktop
Entry1_Preference=2
Entry1_Service=phononbackends/vlc.desktop
Entry2_Preference=1
Entry2_Service=phononbackends/xine.desktop
NumberOfEntries=3
