[Bug 786561] baseparse: excessive tag updates - totem uses about a quarter more CPU than "gst-play-1.0 --videosink=clutterautovideosink"

--- Comment #28 from Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.vugt at canonical.com> ---
In that case, your idea from comment #13 should probably be implemented in
totem:

"complain a bit louder when the decoder constantly sends signals without actual
changes."

I understand you want to expose mistakes in other components, but leaving totem
fragile and vulnerable to them isn't ideal. If the bug were to happen again
there is no guarantee another person would come along and diagnose it again any
time soon. Such a regression could linger indefinitely (again).
