Hi, All,

I was testing gstreamer for using it from multiple threads.
I make the following:
  1. gst_init;
  2. start main_loop;
  3. start while(1) calling thread-function that constructs pipeline, starts
playing and stop it immediately.

In some cases (I suppose it is any type of race condition), I get the
following error:

4: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another
application.

Have anybody the same problem?
I tested both on lenny and squeeze (but haven`t tested sid yet) the problem
appear from time to time on both versions.

PS: To reproduce the problem I always start testing application for a few
times before getting an error.
