           Summary: playbin: buffering of live radio stream never finishes
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.2.1
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: rawoul at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


The following pipeline gets stuck at the buffering state:

gst-launch-1.0 playbin
uri='http://adwzg.tdf-cdn.com/3678/nrj_3678.mp3?type=.flv&awparams=radio:Ch-rie-FM-80'

This is using the default buffering values of queue2 in uridecodebin, which are
2s for max-size-time and rate-estimate enabled. The problem is that the live
radio stream has a small buffer, so the queue is always empty. The buffering
will stop when the downstream multiqueue gets full, which can take a very long
time since you have to fill 2MB at 64kbits/s.
