Segmentation fault on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu 11.10 (AMD64)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Clean install from PPA via synaptic and starting GUI from console.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

2. I just get info about segmentation fault and no other messages.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1. sopcast-player 0.7.4~ppa~oneiric1
2. sp-auth 3.2.6~ppa1~oneiric3

It gives the same result on every *buntu 11.10 (AMD64)

I've found the solution somewhere in the depth of internet. So you need to run

$ sudo gedit /usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/vlc_1_0_x.py

and change

callbackmethod=ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(None, Event, ctypes.c_void_p)

to

callbackmethod=ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(None, ctypes.POINTER(Event), ctypes.c_void_p)

Hey, it's Issue 74! And it had to be fixed!
And it doesn't work in both version from fluguy97 and in version from 
ferramroberto :(

I managed to get it work by commenting out all the lines referencing 
callbackmethod from /usr/share/sopcast-player/lib/vlc_1_0_x.py

I guess this way it takes the defaults set inside the VLC Python bindings, 
which might be safer
