Now I don't get anything but a segfault with the gst-launch-command and
artsdsink. However amarok using gstreamer and artsdsink works.

Ok, downgraded libgstreamer0.8-0 to 0.8.9-2 and amarok plays perfectly
with artsdsink. But as noted above, gst-launch segfaults (in case you
don't remember: gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=3Dmp3file ! spider !
audioscale ! audioconvert ! artsdsink)

Using amarok this works with the old libgstreamer. gst-launch segfaults.

This works too with amarok, not with gst-launch.=20

I then upgraded libgstreamer to the newest version (0.8.10-2) and
retried all 3 above, with the following result:

* libgstreamer-0.8.10-2+gstreamer0.8-artsd from unstable:=20
    amarok broken, as in the initial report, gst-lauch broken as in the
    initial report (no segfault anymore)

* libgstreamer-0.8.10-2+self-build gstreamer0.8-artsd:=20
    both as above.

* libgstreamer-0.8.10-2+self-build gstreamer0.8-artsd+your patch:
    gst-launch segfaults, amarok plays, as if I'd use the old
    libgstreamer. Sorry for not trying amarok witht his combination
    eralier (I just did rely on gst-launch)

So, from all the testing, what do we know:

1. Building gst-plugins myself is not causing trouble with amarok and
old libgstreamer

2. Building gst-plugins with your fix is not causing trouble with the
old libgstreamer and amarok

3. Using a new libgstreamer we have a problem with unstable and
self-built artsdsink in amarok and gst-launch

4. using a new libgstreamer and your fix we have a working amarok, but a
crashing gst-launch...=20

So I would guess, this particular bug is fixed with your patch and we
need to open a new one for gst-launch segfaulting with artsdsink...

You need more time; and you probably always will.
