Some element returned GST_FLOW_ERROR but didn't post a proper error
message on the bus, not very nice.

Could you file a bug please, and make that file available for
download/testing?

Does it error out immediately, or only after a while?

Have you tried the GStreamer PPA for ubuntu (which has more recent
versions of GStreamer)?

Could you attach a GST_DEBUG=*:5 log to the bug report (gzipped)?

Thanks!
