[vlc-devel] Mutex Lock problem

[Tommy Tran]

Hello,
Since v1.1.0, a few libvlc extern audio-related functions don't work  anymore. 
As of v1.1.17, the issue still exist. To help with debugging, I  picked one 
function that doesn't work (libvlc_audio_get_channel) and  one function that 
does work (libvlc_audio_get_track) and play the same  media file and show the 
callstack and the values of the related  variables.

I posted the callstacks on the forum:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=87115

Anyone got an idea why the owner thread is non-zero for the "GetChannel" case? 
Is it OK to call EnterCriticalSelection() when there is an owner thread? Is it 
possible that some code is calling EnterCriticalSelection() and forgot to call 
LeaveCriticalSelection()?
