[gst-devel] gst-player instability

[in7y118 at public.uni-hamburg.de]

Well, gst-player never was a shining example of stability (to put it this 
way :)). But it normally works quite nicely for the occasions where I watch a 
little AVI or MPEG or listen to some mp3 or mod. I'd probably share the guilt 
between Gentoo and gst-player.
But gst-player is definately not supposed to crash ever.

And if you'd want to help debugging, I guess the normal way applies: Running 
inside gdb, reproducing the error, and looking at code. And then find and fix 
the bug and send a patch or file a bug report in bugzilla.
