No, I haven't.  I noticed this problem before as well and posted it to the 
list.  run it with gst-mask=-1 to confirm or deny that it is gstflxdec 
that has this loop - it was for me.

Then after that, I suspect that there is no actual typefind function for 
flx (I couldn't find it), which causes it to fallback to the default 
implementation (which is gst_type_type_find_dummy), sending it to an 
infinite recursion.

i'm glade I'm not the only one ;) I asked how to properly solve this or 
what the goal was exactly (ie why it is initialized with itself by 
default) but understandably Wim is swamped with feature requests ;)

So the first one to get to the bottom of this gets first snow in Oslo.

As for a quick fix, in my case removing gstflxdec was enough.

Depending on how much more I get bitten by this I might move this up my 
list of "stuff to learn in gst".
