Summary0008404: Cannot export ranges from session
DescriptionThis is not new, but I'm fighting this issue again more then ever.

I'm working on sound effects and often when I try to export specific regions the export process would either stall in the middle, never begin or crash Ardour all together.

Often I would start the export, stare at the progress bar doing nothing for a minute, then cancel the export and have Ardour go back to normal, only to freeze or crash a few seconds later.

What is strange is that this seems to happen only on specific regions - some CD ranges export without issues, but some require me to record the Master output to an Audio track and export a region (not a timeline range) to work around the crashing.

I'm providing an example session that I am having issues with so you can try to reproduce the problems:
https://is.gd/2pJtQR (Google Drive Download)

Some of the plug-in I used here are from AirWindows (FOSS LinuxVSTs):

Sometimes if Ardour crashes and has a fresh start it'll export one or two ranges, then break again.

This is a major problem.
Steps To Reproduce1. Load the provided session.
2. Try to export the "Mining Consume" CD range to a file (range starts at 00:00:29:09)
3. Hit "Export"
4. Watch the export never progressing
5. Hit "Stop Export"
6. Ardour will sometimes crash after a few seconds

I've just tested it and the problem doesn't occur when using PulseAudio backend, but it does when using JACK.

I wouldn't consider PulseAudio a replacement for JACK though, so this is still a problem.
