Marcus,

        Here is the stack crawl.

Can't register system time source

fd001b84   800050b5  _start + 00000061                    

        The error is from this code

        BMediaNode *ts = new SystemTimeSource;
        status_t result = mediaroster->RegisterNode(ts);
        if (result != B_OK)
                debugger("Can't register system time source");

But I think this is not really the problem.  I removed the code to 
launch the media_addon_server from the media_server and did it manually 
and there was no problem running the media_addon_server.  I then 
changed the code to launch the media_addon_server from using the mime 
type to using the directory again.  This also works fine.  So I think 
the problem above is just that the launching with mime type is not 
working on my machine.

Now everything runs but I don't get any sound.  Looking at the Media 
prefs I have no output control to assign to the sound card (I have an 
input control though).

Anyway, this is enough for me to debug my mov reader so I can work with 
that.

Any thoughts on the no sound issue?

cc'ing to the mailing list in case anyone is listening.

Cheers
David
