 Replying to [comment:1 posting at blx4.net]:

 frontend crashes when trying to play x264/AVC encoded files. older/other
 h.264 encoded files play back just fine.

 bogus state after the crash. Only an 'alsactl restore' can bring the audio
 back.

 In #4456 (which was closed as a duplicate of this) I reported problems
 with matroska files which look to be h.264/AVC encoded.  The internal
 player doesn't crash for me but playback is not watchable (but all is fine
 with mplayer and a fairly new svn ffplay).  I attached a playback log to
 #4456.  Let me know if I can be of assistance tracking this down.
