Public bug reported:
Banshee and Totem both suffer from a very annoying bug where they will
lock up when trying to interact with them while media is playing. It's
hard to describe, but here are the main points:
* When the application locks up, "GStreamer-WARNING **: wrong STREAM_LOCK count
0" is output.
* I have tested this with quite a diverse MP3 library.
* This happens **most frequently** using gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3.
* This happens less frequently when using lame/mad from
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly.
* I am unable to reproduce this issue with OGG/Vorbis audio.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3, as it is easiest to trigger the bug
(works with gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly as well, just not as often).
2. Open any MP3 in Totem from the terminal.
3. Seek madly for 5-10 seconds or until it freezes. (Sometimes the freeze is
instantaneous, sometimes it takes a few seconds of trying.)
4. Observe the GStreamer warning message and deadlock.
This has been *very* difficult to pin down, as it happens seemingly at
random. I'm attaching a backtrace of Totem's state during the freeze.
Some points of note:
* The "GStreamer-CRITICAL" message is unrelated to the freezing from what I can
tell, as it doesn't show up during other traces I've done.
* ^C is where it froze.
* #10 is libgstflump3dec.so -- could not find debugging symbols for this, but
as it happens with the other MP3 decoders as well, I don't think the problem
lies in the MP3 plugins themselves.
Something I've noticed while testing this: it appears to freeze more often
around when threads are created/destroyed.
Let me know if there's any more information I can provide.
