  GStreamer | gst-python | Ver: HEAD CVS
           Summary: python_do_pending_calls timer is apparently redundant
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-python
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: notverysmart at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


It seems the 10Hz python_do_pending_calls timeout added in init_gst is
redundant now, since anyone running a glib mainloop in a gst-python app will be
using gtk.main() or gobject.MainLoop.run(), so the pygtk or pygobject signal
watch will be running.

The timer causes any app that loads the gst module, such as rhythmbox (the
python bindings expose some GStreamer details) to wake up 10 times per second,
which tends to make people unhappy these days.
