GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.8.5

           Summary: Slow play with low cpu utilizaton
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.5
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: darrenb at extendedsystems.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net


Fedora Core 2, gstreamer universe (0.8.5 core 0.8.3 plugins), and
totem-gstreamer-0.99.15.1-1.1.fc2.fr.i386.rpm installed.

I tried playing all the files from ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/MOV/ with
totem. totem played about half of them successfuly. Some like
ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/MOV/Bloodhound%20Gang%20-%20Along%20Comes%20Mary.mov
played flawlessly with correct timing. But many others played, but only
extreamly slowly. As an example,
ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/MOV/editlist/menace00.mov
is a 2 minute 8 second trailer for the star wars movie but after it had played
for 20 minutes on my machine I don't think it was even half finished yet. The
strange thing is that cpu utilization all this time stuck right around 98% idle
(I'm running on an Athlon 2200 btw) so we are definately not cpu bound. Exact
same thing happens with 
ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/MOV/editlist/0625rvt6-42.mov
ftp://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/MOV/editlist/MichaelMenes1986.mov
and several others.

Could this bug be related to either of the folling bugs?

Any one else see similar behavior or have an idea about what may be causing
this? Also FYI, gst-player just crashes with the infamous X windows error when
attempting to play all three of these files.
