Gary,

I've created handler for this bug
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679950 and noticed that it
happens quite often just before app stalls.

So I am going try to patch 0.10.36 with this

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/patch/?id=cce71223d7b2f8227301f0724a18fc647f0cfd06

and see if problem remains.

If you could do the same it will be helpful in tracking down this issue,

Marcin
