**System Information**
win7 SP1 and ubuntu 14.04, Radeon HD7770
**Blender Version**
Broken: Blender 2.70a official and recent own build Hash: 7280410
Worked: ?
**Short description of error**
Trying to play a Sound strip that has been extended at the start (negative start trim) makes Blender crash
**Exact steps for others to reproduce the error**
- in the VSE, Add Sound (align start to frame 1)
- in the properties of the strip, enable Cashing
- set Trim Duration (soft) to a negative value for "Start:"
- press Shift-Leftarrow and Blender crashes
or set current frame to 0 by RMB-clicking in VSE or timeline and Blender crashes
This not perfectly reproducible: wav, mp3, aif and flac files all crashed but unfortunately not every time even with the same file.
The crash does not occur if the soundfile is packed (might be a coincidence) so you have to create it yourself by loading a sound in the VSE:
Please download this mp3 http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/basematic/33579 or try some of your own files.
