Transcribe! is a program I use for work every day. I primarily use it on
GNU/Linux, because that's the platform I choose to work in.

http://seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html

On Debian 6 and Linux Mint 11/Ubuntu 11.04 and also on Ubuntu 12.04, I've
encountered a crash using Transcribe! with Gstreamer and PulseAudio.

The crash occurs when cuing forward or backward through a track. In Debian 6, I
get a Gstreamer related error message in the GUI. I can close the error dialog,
and then save and close the program, but if I try to continue to use the
program instead, the window crashes and I get this output in t terminal:

david at debian-desktop:~$ transcribe

In Ubuntu and Linux Mint, I receive no error dialog in the GUI and the window
simply crashes without warning, with similar (but not identical) terminal
output if I've started the program from a terminal.

This is a minor annoyance, since I can just restart the program either from the
command line or the applications menu and continue working. Further, it only
happens after using the program for an hour or two, so in an entire work day I
may experience the crash twice or maybe three times.

I'll send a link to this thread to the program developer as well, in hopes that
the issue can be worked out for future versions of Gstreamer as well as
Transcribe!

Thanks in advance.
