           Summary: autoaudiosink will not use a working audiosink if it
                    encounters a fatal error in an audiosink
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jezra at jezra.net
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


When running `gst-launch-1.0 autoaudiotestsrc ! autoaudiosink`, audioaudiosink
will stop looking for an appropriate audiosink if a fatal error in an audiosink
is encountered.

This may be a very fringe case, and my system is an ARM device with kernel
3.14.2 and gst-plugins-good installed.

gst-launch-1.0 autoaudiotestsrc ! autoaudiosink gives me the error: 
FATAL: cannot locate cpu MHz in /proc/cpuinfo

`gst-launch-1.0 autoaudiotestsrc ! alsasink` works just fine, however, and
removing gst-plugins-good resolves the issue.
