media_addon_server fails at boot on hrev50047, requires manual kill/restart

[tidux]

Opening a known-good audio or video file after a fresh boot causes media_addon_server to crash, and spawn a Debugger process. Manually killing the player's process and restarting both media_server and media_addon_server are necessary to fix the problem.

Testing this using vlc launched from a shell prompt yields dozens of lines of the following error before the Debugger popped open:

SoundPlayNode::FillNextBuffer: RequestBuffer failed

It looks like something isn't being initialized correctly during boot for whatever reason, but manually restarting the servers afterwards does initialize correctly.

Affected hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad T530

Can you save the debug report and attach it here?

It seems also a known issue:

If you could specify which audio driver you are using would be useful too. It seems the problems happens on certain hardware configurations.
