------- Comment #14 from René Stadler  2006-10-29 00:00 UTC -------
Here is a trivial python program, triggering the problem and not using
GStreamer at all:

import sys, threading
h = gnomevfs.open (sys.argv[1], gnomevfs.OPEN_READ)
class T (threading.Thread):
    def run (self):
        h.read (4096)
        print "Success!"
t = T ()
t.start ()
t.join ()

Calling this with a smb:// URI raises "InternalError: Internal error" on read. 
These are basically the steps that GStreamer's gnomevfssrc performs (leaving
out getting of the file info and the no-op seek).  In gnomevfssrc, the vfs open
is done in the "start" vfunc, which is called from the main thread.  Data is
read in the "create" vfunc, called from the streaming thread.

If using gnome-vfs that way is supposed to work, the regression is there (it's
just gnomevfssrc that triggers it).  Otherwise, gnomevfssrc was broken _all the
time_, it's just that the new gnome-vfs shows it.
