           Summary: Add suppression for timer_create() valgrind complaint
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: common
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---


When compiling GStreamer with the new libcheck 0.9.14 and running an older
version of valgrind (like 3.7.0 included in Debian/wheezy) you may see
complaints like the one below. The attached patch alleviates these by adding
suppression. Another option is to upgrade to valgrind 3.10.0 (included in
Debian/testing) which also removes the complaint, however there appears to be
no way to require a specific valgrind version.
