>From the release notes for gstreamer 0.6.0:
Thread issues and GStreamer
Many of GStreamer's features relies heavily on threads. Unfortunately
everything is not rosy in the Linux world of threads. If you have a
glibc version installed compiled with i686 optimizations (which uses a
different codepath than standard i386 glibc), there is a good chance you
will experience thread-related crashes in gstreamer-based applications.
There are a few workarounds to this available.
* You can use an i386 glibc package instead. (Since this is the
only one shipping with Debian, debian users do not experience
this issue.)
* You can also try running the gstreamer-based applications using
the command-line option --gst-scheduler=opt, which invokes a
newly created scheduler that does not use threads. This
scheduler is very new however so you might encounter other
issues when using it. Please report issues to our bugzilla.
Does this affect us?
