Summary: gstmediaplay hangs using 100% CPU

Initial Comment:
Attached below is a Shoutcast playlist file.  I decided
to run gstmediaplay on it, just to see if anything
interesting would happen.  I wasn't sure if I actually
expected it to work, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

The gstmediaplay GUI appears and *is* responsive: I can
click buttons, navigate menus, and so on.  However, no
sound is forthcoming.  Worse, "top" shows the
gstmediaplay process consuming 100% of CPU time.

If gstmediaplay can handle Shoutcast playlists, great.
 If not, though, it should fail gracefully.  Failing by
pegging the CPU at 100% is not graceful.  :-)

GDB reports the following (not very interesting) stack:

#0  0x4061a9a7 in poll () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x40069a74 in g_main_poll (timeout=0,
use_priority=1, priority=200)
    at gmain.c:1034
#2  0x40069465 in g_main_iterate (block=1, dispatch=1)
at gmain.c:808
#3  0x400697e8 in g_main_run (loop=0x80f4f28) at
gmain.c:935
#4  0x4012765b in gtk_main () at gtkmain.c:524
#5  0x40030d3e in gst_main () at eval.c:41
#6  0x08048ad1 in main () at eval.c:41
#7  0x40556237 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

Running gstmediaplay with "--gst-mask=-1" shows various
startup messages and then and endless stream of:

  INFO (23024: 0)gst_schedule_iterate:1353: NO ENABLED
ELEMENTS IN CHAIN!!
