Ah, that makes sense. Managed to reproduce the problem with one of my quicktime
samples. Should be fixed in CVS now:

        * gst/mpegstream/gstmpegdemux.c: (gst_mpeg_demux_send_subbuffer):
          Add sanity check so we don't abort for broken or non-MPEG streams,
          but instead error out. Fixes crashes/aborts for when our typefinder
          wrongly identifies quicktime files as mpeg (which should be fixed in
          -base now too). (#440120).
