           Summary: Theoradec doesn't work well with gnonlin
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


When specifying a media-start of something other than zero, gnonlin doesn't
like theora files.

Specifically, the problem is that gnonlin blocks theoradec's srcpad, and issues
a seek as soon as that pad block triggers.

If it's triggered by an event (e.g. tags, newsegment), this seek can occur
before the decoder has received all the headers. As a result, the headers are
never received, so decode fails.

I'll attach a patch which defers sending newsegment and tag events until after
the decoder is fully initialised.
