Yeah, and additional plugins can also make us crash. So the problem is the
same, we need to trust the plugins to do the right thing.

I'd rather the GStreamer developers added something like that to gst-launch's
-t option, but if they refuse, we could add it to Totem.

Could you check which plugin is causing the problem and eventually provide a
test file?
