gst-streaming-server stalls

[marcin at saepia.net]

I also have hope that 1.0 will fix that but

a) I prefer to rely on data, not hope ;)
b) I appreciate work that was needed to create 1.0 but I am still
frightened by amount of bugs fixed in every 1.0.x - I assume that this
list is not complete and there are plenty of bugs still to be found.

So if there's a way to fix 0.10 version I would prefer to do it,
especially that my target platform is ubuntu 12.04 LTS and it is
shipped with 0.10.

I use the same versions except gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (I have 0.10.22).

Do you have any gdb backtraces caught during any stall? I am going to
grab some in the next week and maybe it will be helpful in resolving
this.
