        * plugins/elements/gstfilesrc.c: (gst_file_src_class_init):
          Do not use mmap() by default since there are a number of error
          conditions that we would like to handle in a non-fatal way that
          will result in a SIGBUS if we use mmap(). Examples: external
          devices (USB harddrive, portable music player) being unplugged
          while in use; file on mounted CD/DVD that can't be read because
          the medium is partly damaged. Fixes #348455 and #348475.
