- If the crash is related to a specific media file, please ask the
  user to provide a link to it.  (Or other means of accessing it)

- If the backtrace in the thread where it actually crashed is in a
  gst_ function, it's probably a gstreamer bug (this applies to
  crashes in gst-player, rhythmbox, totem, etc., that use gstreamer)

- It is often useful to have full debugging information compressed and
  attached to the bug.  One can get debugging info by adding
  --gst-debug-level=5 to the application command line and redirecting
  to a file.

- If the bug came from rhythmbox, assign it back to rythmbox.  (just
  kidding)
