The application still fails with the same warning. But, I'm getting
closer to the problem. I tested the *same* source on another Linux
machine and there it works really nice as expected. Here are the
machine facts:

Fails:
- Ubuntu
- libgstreamer-10-0 (0.10.6-0ubuntu2)
- gstreamer0.10-plugins-base (0.10.7-0ubuntu5)

Works:
- Gentoo
- gstreamer-0.10.11
- gst-plugins-base-0.10.11

Any ideas why it works on Gentoo, but not on Ubuntu? Is this maybe a
bug in an older gstreamer version?
