           Summary: gst-plugins-bad/gst/nsf/ code not needed (can be
                    replaced by ext/gme/)
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.19
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

The code in the gst/nsf/, decoding nsf game audio files, does the same thing as
the code in ext/gme/, which supports several other formats as well. This would
require some testing, but the code in ext/gme/ also supports silence detection
and infinite loop prevention. So my suggestion is to remove this code. To test
that the code in ext/gme works fine, simply build with ./configure
--disable-nsf (be sure to remove the old nsf plugin .so file) and try playing
back some nsf files. You can find tons here:
