Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee 0.10

[Aaron Bockover <abockover novell com>]

The only way Banshee touches your GStreamer plugins install is if you
configure with --enable-xing. In that case it will build the Xing Mp3
encoder as a GStreamer plugin and install it. It does not overwrite
existing plugins (unless that existing plugin is Xing, and Banshee is
the only application that distributes this).

I'd venture to say the real problem was that you needed to run
"gst-register-0.8" after installing Banshee. The reason Banshee may have
crashed was because installing the plugin made the GStreamer registry
out of sync.

The reason reinstalling "some gstreamer plugin" may have worked was
because it ran the gst-register-0.8 program for you.

We don't run gst-register-0.8 because it's usually done in post-install
sections in packages (RPMs, etc.).
