Alright, to followup on my own post, I've isolated the crash to a 
seemingly innocent line of code:

m_player = new Phonon::VideoPlayer(Phonon::VideoCategory, 0);

(m_player is the proper type)

I've tried setting a breakpoint on that line and stepping into it - but 
when I step into it with F11 in the qt creator debugger (qt 4.6.1), it 
just keeps showing 'operator new' on the stack, and stopping there. 
Repeated presses of F11 result in 'operator new' staying on top the 
stack and no change in program position. Pressing F10 (step out) results 
in program execution halting with the same message ("The inferior has 
stopped because...SIGSEGV").

Any leads on how to get to the bottom of this crash? (OS is Windows XP Pro)

Thanks!
