  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: git
           Summary: gst-launch should set pipeline to PAUSED before clearing
                    main loop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: ds at schleef.org
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


When it is shutting down a pipeline after ctrl-c, gst-launch currently calls
g_main_context_iteration() to clear any pending signals, idle functions, and
such.  However, the pipeline is still running at this point, so could be
generating new idle functions and signals.  If the main loop never becomes
completely idle (easy to do with valgrind or in error situations), gst-launch
will never PAUSE the pipeline and subsequently not exit.
