Please merge mixxx 1.6.0-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Thank you for reporting this bug. The Ubuntu diff is very small. I think the best thing to do would be to get the Ubuntu changes applied upstream. That way, we can sync the package in the future. I have already submitted a patch upstream to Debian, and I added a bug watch to this report. This new upstream release introduces a lot of changes. I was unable to locate an upstream changelog in the package. However, I did find this list of changes (http://mixxxblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/mixxx-160-released.html):

Since Mixxx 1.5.0 was released (March 4th, 2007), the following changes have been made:

    * New MIDI mappings for Tascam US-428, M-Audio X-Session Pro, Evolution X-Session, FaderFox DJ2, and the M-Audio Torq Xponent, Vestax VCI-100, Akai MPD24, Behringer BCD3000 (including LEDs), Numark Total Control
    * Many Hercules MK2 improvements
    * Support for the Hercules DJ Console RMX
    * Support for the Hercules DJ Console Mac Edition
    * Slick sliding VU meter peaks - Screenshots don't do this justice (download it and check it out).
    * Added the new Natt skin, from Natt from the forums.
    * Completely rewritten waveform view by Russell Ryan through Google Summer of Code. This will provide better performance for some users.
    * Some very under-the-hood improvements that should fix the odd crash-at-startup and improve performance.
    * Fixed keyboard cue keys to use whatever cue behaviour is selected in the preferences.
    * MP3 parsing fixes for files with cover art (fixes blips at the start of some songs)
    * OGG parsing improvements, fixes some library scanning problems
    * Fixed OGG playback on Intel OS X machines
    * Completed drag-and-drop support in the library. You can now import tracks to the library by drag-and-dropping a track from outside Mixxx onto the library view. You can also reorder tracks in a playlist or the library.
    * Option to disable the BPM detection.
    * Added BPM reading from MP3/OGG files which have it embedded in them (ID3), one of several enhancements by Martin Sakmar
    * Various accuracy improvements to the BPM detection
    * Improvements to the vinyl emulation and pitch-independent time stretch sound quality
    * Wave recording support
    * Vinyl control with support for Serato, Traktor, and FinalScratch vinyl, as well as Serato CD.
    * Added support for multiple inputs on a single soundcard for vinyl control
    * Build flags are now cached automatically
    * Improved flanger effect, thanks to Enry
    * Configurable cue behaviour, which now defaults to CDJ-style cueing. (Thanks to Tom Care)
    * Enabled realtime priority with ALSA, improves performance with Linux RT kernels.
    * FLAC support for Linux and OS X users (much requested)
    * Tons and tons of bug fixes.
    * Fixed crashes due to vinyl emulation mode
    * Improved compatibility with JACK (some users were experiencing choppiness)
    * Players should now only pull from the play queue if in NEXT mode
    * Search functionality:
      o Search box now selects all text when clicked (easier to make a new search now)
      o When the search box is cleared, the library view will scr...

This fixes bug 229657 and bug 235210. I tried 1.6.0-1 from debian and it worked for me, but I didn't do any extensive testing.

All other 4 bugs reported here are also crash bugs, these might be fixed as well but that is hard to say. I subscribed Albert Santoni here as well, maybe he can provide more information?

Debian has still not patched this bug. They have also failed to comment. We most likely will not see the patch applied until after Lenny is released. As we are now at the beginning of a new Development cycle, it is now the perfect time to prepare a merge for this package. We will have plenty of time for users to test the new version prior to all of the freezes going into effect.

I'll attach the needed debdiff files shortly.
