+Bug#: 136328
+Product: GStreamer
+Version: HEAD CVS
+OS: Linux
+OS Details: 
+Status: NEW   
+Resolution: 
+Severity: critical
+Priority: Normal
+Component: gstreamer (core)

+Summary: gst-register as user not working properly, causing crashes
+
+On CVS HEAD (but not 0.7.5) running gst-register as a user registers twice
+as many plugins as when running it as root, registering everything twice,
+once in /var/cache/gstreamer-0.7/registry.xml and again in the home
+directory.  After running gst-register, most plugins work, but, for
+example, using spider causes crashes.  E.g.:
+
+[jat48 at thacker jat48]$ gst-launch filesrc location=test.ogg ! spider ! alsasink
+RUNNING pipeline ...
+ 
+** (process:5530): CRITICAL **: how to remove plugins?
+ 
+(process:5530): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `oggdemux' has no type
+
+This plays fine if the file ~/.gstreamer-0.7/registry.xml is erased, and
+gst-register isn't run.
+
+Output of gst-register and gst-feedback attached.  As a side note,
+gst-feedback also complains about gstreamer.pc and gstreamer-libs.pc
+missing, since by default only gstreamer-0.7.pc and gstreamer-libs-0.7.pc
+are installed into /usr/lib/pkgconfig
