------- Comment #12 from Sean Egan  2007-05-12 19:12 UTC -------
The way Luke's preferences are set, the above code will call:

gst_element_factory_make("autoaudiosink", "sink");

This function is guaranteed to be called from only one thread, as Pidgin is not
multi-threaded. If it's possible that autoaudiosink creates the actual audio
sinks from different threads and has the same thread safety problems you
mention, we can try having Luke run it with a 'safer' sink and see if that's
where the problem is.
