  GStreamer | gst-plugins-base | Ver: 0.10.x
           Summary: Playbin2 sometimes fails to start file after it was put
                    in READY state
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: dirk.vdb at gmail.com

     GNOME version: 2.25/2.26

Please describe the problem:
The problem I face is playing multiple files and putting the stream to
the READY status in between the files.

After putting the stream to the READY status I can't always put it into the
PLAYING status again. I created a minimal testcase that reproduces my
problem (see reproduction steps).


Steps to reproduce:
1. Compile http://code.google.com/p/gejengel/source/browse/trunk/data/main.c
with gcc main.c -o test `pkg-config --cflags --libs gstreamer-0.10`
2. run ./test somaudiofile.ext (take a file with duration of a couple seconds)
3. Let it loop


Actual results:
On my machine it usually hangs within the first 5 iterations, the file can't be
started anymore

Expected results:
The file should keep looping forever

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Tested using gst-plugins-base-0.10.23 on gentoo and gst-plugins-base-0.10.22-1
on ubuntu jaunty
