Bug#686585: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad: hung every gstreamer0.10 app

[Michael Gebetsroither]

Package: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
Version: 0.10.23-7
Severity: important

Hi,

Since my last upgrade pidgin stopped workign.
Seems every gstreamer0.10 app in the system stopped working too,
even gst-inspect.

Problem:
$ gst-inspect
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
<hung forever>

The problem was libgstopenal.so from gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad was
loadgin libjack.so which hung forever without running jack server.
Pidgin hung with the exact same error output as gst-inspect as did
every other gstreamer related app i tried.

The fix was to blacklist libgstopenal.so with:
mv -i /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-0.10/libgstopenal.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-0.10/libgstopenal.soBLACKLIST

After that all apps including pidgin worked again.
