Fair enough.

Really, this doesn't help too much. You'll need to attach a debugger
and see where things are going wrong. It could be that one of the
libraries gstreamer uses was compiled wrongly, so things are going
wrong "randomly", or it could be a bug in your plugin - we can't
guess. You might also find running it on a PC using a tool like
valgrind helpful - it might show you something you're doing wrong that
just luckily doesn't cause a crash on the PC, but does on your target
system.
