Results of an attempted bisection

I tried bisecting this, and the bisection sort of failed (twice).

The only thing I can make out of all that is that the valve plugin is where the
problem lies, and the problem was introduced after the move from -bad to -core.
Throughout these tests, I have gst-plugins-bad-0.10.19,
gst-plugins-good-0.10.23, and gst-plugins-base-0.10.31 installed.

"good" is the behaviour with -core 0.10.31 and -bad 0.10.19
"bad"  is the behaviour with -core 0.10.32 and -bad 0.10.19
"skip" is when empathy gives an error msg saying "There was a failure in the
call engine"  "Could not create the valve element"

I couldn't figure out why empathy couldn't load the valve plugin, so I'm
dumping my observations as an attachment below. Any suggestions on how to
proceed with further narrowing down are appreciated.
