Bug#883127: gst123: playlist option always returns parse error

[Joseph Nahmias]

Package: gst123
Version: 0.3.3-1+b3
Severity: normal

Hello,

It seems that there is something buggy in the command-line argument parsing
code in gst123.  No matter what, using -@ (or --list) always gives aborts
saying Error parsing option.  See below for an example.  Any help
troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Thanks,
--Joe
