I'm not sure I understand. You can't call any GStreamer function after
gst_deinit(), including gst_init() or gst_init_check().

But to split things into separate threads that's also not required. You can
call gst_init() as many times as you want (it would do nothing for anything but
the first call). So each of your threads could call that in the very beginning
unless you want to simply place it at the top of your main().

Your problem is that gst_is_initialized() still returns TRUE after
gst_deinit(), but what exactly are you doing based on that?


For the patch, please provide it as a 'git format-patch' formatted patch (with
a commit message and correct author information), see
