  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: HEAD CVS
           Summary: fractions with G_MAXINT cause failure for fixation
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: tester at tester.ca
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


If we try to fixate a list { 15/2, 5/1 } around G_MAXINT/1 (like v4l2src tries
to do with one of my webcams). It fails because
gst_structure_fixate_field_nearest_fraction() does (G_MAXINT/1 - 15/2) and that
fails. That prevents my otherwise perfectly fine Logitech quickcam Fusion from
working with telepathy stream-engine.. 

Fixing that mean breaking the API in some way..We can either make the max
num/demum to be sqrt(G_MAXINT)~ 46k .. Or we could store the num/demun into a
64bit...
