Bug#421208: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: crashes on startup

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
Version: 0.10.2-2
Severity: important

Hello,

This gstreamer plugin crashes on startup, hence crashing gstreamer, hence
crashing gnome-settings-daemon. After determining the problem was somewhere
in gstreamer, I ran:

  gst-launch-0.10 --gst-debug-level=5 2> ~/err.log

This dumps core.
Here is a backtrace of the resulting core dump:

Core was generated by `gst-launch-0.10 --gst-debug-level=5'.
Program terminated with signal 4, Illegal instruction.
