[jokosher-devel] Potential release blocker

[Laszlo Pandy <laszlok2 gmail com>]

0.9 release is set for tomorrow, but Gstreamer + Jokosher seem to be a 
little broken. Sometime over the last month bug 87576 cropped up. With 
feisty's version of gstreamer as well as with the latest from CVS, 
playing after stopping in Jokosher will fail and give a non-linked error 
for some internal-filesrc or decodebin. Two other messages are output in 
the terminal:

GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Padname '':src does not belong to element 
gnlsource0 when removing

GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_pad_set_active: assertion `GST_IS_PAD (pad)' 
failed

I an fairly certain that this is a result of a change in Gstreamer and 
not in Jokosher because this effects version 0.2 when I apt-get install 
it from Feisty's universe. Maybe we have been doing something wrong all 
along and there was a fix in Gstreamer (gnonlin?) that made it cause 
this problem.

In any case this feels like a blocker and I would feel more comfortable 
delaying the release until we have this fixed. Of course it doesn't help 
that I'm very busy at school and haven't had the time to continue my 
usual barrage of patches and gstreamer debugging marathons. I will be on 
IRC all day tomorrow to discuss this. I especially want to see jono, 
Elleo, Aquarius and david_corrales so we can make a proper decision.
