I had only used the .debs without problems up until a few days ago when
I tried the PPA.

The PPA created problems in Totem and VLC where they would not play
videos at all.  It took some time to disable the PPA repository, trying
to get the original packages sorted out and getting my Totem and VLC
working again.

I have noticed other sound issues as well.  A slight crackle plays in my
speakers if I am listening to internet radio with rhythmbox and then
click on a panel icon.  This never used to happen.  I also lost all
sound in Unreal tournament 2004.  This I fixed by sym linking
/usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 to the ut2004/System directory as openal.so.

All the weird video and sound things occurred after using the PPA which
uninstalled a bunch of things while "upgrading" the dependencies.

I am now back to having Openshot installed from the latest .deb and have
disabled the PPA.  I have tried reinstalling all the dependency .debs as
well, even though they all said everything was already installed.

I don't mind the hassles if it means we finally  get a good video
editor.

I assume we will get this all sorted out and I will learn more about by
audio and video subsystems in the process.

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
Since trying the ppa install which killed vlc and totem, I have managed to get those apps working again, but now openshot, which is installed from the newest .deb has become totally unstable.  If i start a new project, put in 1 .mp3 audio clip and then drag the echo effect onto it, nothing happens.  There is no sign of the effect anywhere.  I then try dragging the echo effect to it again and there is still no sign of it.   If I then click to play the clip, Openshot crashes.  

I did get it to work with the blur effect on a video clip, but putting the echo clip on an .mp3 will crash it every time.

This is the 32 bit version running in 32 bit Ubuntu 9.04

I ran it in a terminal and this is the output:
marty@tux:~$ openshot

Here is the output from using blur in a video clip and echo in an audio clip:
