Sopcast-player 0.7.4~ppa~oneiric1 crashes on Ubuntu AMD64

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Ubuntu 11.10 daily
2. Install sopcast-player from PPA
3. Start sopcast-player
4. See it crashing

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

Expected sopcast-player to start properly. I'm using Ambiance GTK3 theme. 
Here's strace:
