------- Comment #7 from Yves Lefebvre  2009-02-03 19:35 UTC -------
I recently update my code to gstreamer 0.10.20 and found a better and much less
intrusive fix. In file gstbasetransform.c, there is a trans->transform_lock
used in the gst_base_transform_buffer_alloc function.

I simply use this mutex in the gst_base_transform_activate function when
activate is stopping. This is much less intrusive than the previous patch in
gstpad.c

I took some time to look in the code of head and see the problem still there
too. however, most of the code has change compared to the version I am using :
the mutex is not used anymore in the alloc function. So I have no patch for
head right now.

If someone need, I can update the modif in basetransform that show the problem
in 0.10.20 and Head (similar than in comment #2).
