------- Comment #6 from Jens Granseuer  2006-10-09 11:28 UTC -------
So, for the record: No, the problematic piece of code comes from gst-ffmpeg
itself replacing the use of memalign (used upstream) with posix_memalign, which
is broken with glibc < 2.3 und usually returns NULL -> segfault.

Even if this gst modification is not reverted (as requested in bug 172961), I
think the above patch is completely safe since it only falls back to memalign
if posix_memalign is found to be non-functional. It can't get worse than
segfaulting in any case.
