[AG-TECH] ratmedia crash

[Cindy Sievers]

I don't know how to fix the problem, but I see the MBUS related error when 
I move stuff around in the RAT ui  too much.....things like moving the 
slider bar up and down a lot to scroll through the list of participants, or 
adjusting the volume seem to crash RAT....and like David said, by 
re-enabling audio through Preferences/Enable audio, I can bring rat back up 
again.....I also see this problem when certain nodes join a conference.  I 
don't know if they are sending bad packets or what, but it seems that when 
some nodes enter or exit a meeting, rat crashes......I haven't isolated 
which exact nodes cause this, but others have noticed it as well.....
BTW, I am running on Windows XP, onboard audio, single machine node......
