I know exactly what you're talking about, as I had that problem in one of my debug releases... But I haven't seen it since then. Could you give me a bit more information? I'm guessing you're using my 0.8 deb on OS2008, but what hardware are you using? Do you have any other custom applets running? Does it do that consistently? Does it actually APPLY the change before it crashes, or does the mute state stay the same? I would also ask you disable my applet, change the mute state with the original applet, and then re-enable mine and try muting with that again. If that fixes it, I may have an idea what's wrong. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I don't claim to be great at C memory management, though I went over it fairly well around my 0.6 release... It's entirely possible something added since that release is causing a problem. I'll go through it again before the 0.9 release and have a few more people look at it as well. I *REALLY* want to make this a quality applet, so if anyone else has statistics on this, please let me know. Hopefully I can get some other people in #maemo to look through it as well!
