           Summary: particular FLAC file hangs playbin2 after reaching
                    PAUSED on way to PLAYING (playbin classic works)
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


On some occasions, playbin2 will deadlock when transitioning from NULL (or
READY) to PLAYING.  I have found a particular FLAC file which will trigger this
behavior every time.  It appears that this behavior is not exhibited from the
gst-launch command line, but a simple script will be attached that demonstrates
the error.

Most of my music is in FLAC format; while I recall having seen this behavior
when playing MP3s, I haven't been able to reproduce it recently, so I'm not
positive where the fault lies.  However, the file plays fine from a playbin
classic, which is a pretty good sign that playbin2 is at least partly to blame.

The file is copyrighted and 29MB.  I won't post it on the tracker unless asked
to do so.  Anyone can contact me directly to get a link to an HTTP download
instead.

Thanks for your help.  Also, feel free to trademark "playbin classic".
