           Summary: registry cache is always written
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


when looking at gst.c::init_post() nconditionally calls
gst_registry_xml_write_cache (default_registry, registry_file);

Also one can see that the registry file has been touched after each gst-inspect
call.

Shouldn't gst_registry_scan_path() get a gboolean return to indicate if there
has been a change? If so, I'll provide a patch.

The current behaviour causes a substantial delay of application start on weak
devices.
