[Freeswitch-users] question on media bugs: add / remove /add sequence leading to crash when session ends

[Dave Horton]

I’m trying to understand the semantics of removing and re-adding a media bug to a channel.

My scenario is that I need to add a bug to a session, and after some period of processing audio then want to remove it.  
Based on other factors, some time later in the call, I may want to re-add it again.

I am on Freeswitch v1.8.5

How I am doing this now is:

- switch_core_media_bug_add(session, “my-function”, NULL, callback, …)

some time later

- switch_core_media_bug_remove(session, &bug);

some time later

- switch_core_media_bug_add(session, “my-function”, NULL, callback, …)

That all works fine, but when the session ends I get a segfault.  See the stack trace below.

(Note: I also tried using ‘switch_core_media_bug_close’ for the second step, and I don’t get a stack trace in that scenario, but neither does my callback get invoked after I re-add the bug in step #3).

So, two questions:

1) What is the recommended way to accomplish what I am doing?
2) Is this a bug in freeswitch that I should report via Confluence?
