Summary0009973: Ardour crashes immediately upon spacebar
DescriptionAfter upgrading from 8.12-2 to 8.12-3, Ardour crashes when the space bar is pressed. This does not happen when clicking on the transport play button. The issue is fixed by downgrading the package to 8.12-2.
Steps To ReproduceStart a new session
Press space bar -> Audio freezes system-wide, there is a short delay, then Ardour crashes and audio resumes.
Additional InformationWhen I ran Ardour for the first, it displayed a message about not being authorized to use the maximum amount of memory or something and I didn't do anything about it.

$ inxi -A
Audio:
  Device-1: Intel Alder Lake PCH-P High Definition Audio driver: snd_hda_intel
  API: ALSA v: k6.16.0-arch2-1 status: kernel-api
  Server-1: PipeWire v: 1.4.7 status: active
TagsNo tags attached.
