Several very popular USB WebCams with USB Audio support are causing loginwindow to crash when the are plugged in or unplugged. The crash happens in a call to CFStringCompare in HALComponentHelper::DeviceIsNowAvailable(), which is part of a XIOAudioDeviceManager::NotificationThread. This is logged in RADAR as #2973082.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what string the HALComponentHelper is trying to use? I'm wondering if I can stop using the AppleUSBAudio.kext, and replace it with my own kext which sets whatever string is missing, to make this crash go away.

This is a bug in the new Sound Manager in the QuickTime 6 Public Preview. The quick work-around is to uninstall QT6. The harder work-around would be to replace the QT6 Sound Manager pieces with the originals.
