Re: [Debian/SPARC] Totem 1.4.0: GStreamer 'playbin' error

["Joseph E. Sacco" <joseph_sacco comcast net>]

That's good news... 

I did some digging.  There has been some work on getting gstreamer to
work on SPARC-based system. I wonder if that work is Solaris-based only.

gstreamer comes with a test suite.  If you have the spare cycles, you
might run the test suite.  If there are errors please report them to
gstreamer folks.
