I'm not familiar with manually changing gstreamer sink in clutter-gst code, but I'll look into it soon. However,please let me rephrase my problem a bit because I mistyped amount of my memory before: which is actually 1GB not 2GB.
So my movie player would eat out most the memory and became killed by Ubuntu when the AMD machine has only 1GB of memory. But the situation gets a little better if I added the memory to 2G, and my player could last for a while without being killed by Ubuntu as with 1G of mem. Though the performance of video playback is still bad as the frame rate dropped drastically every several seconds. And I'd never seen same thing happened on machines of Intel CPUs, even one of my machine of an Atom CPU.
