This was an assumption after looking into the backtraces of the error
case. But actually I think I was wrong about that. So the backtraces
seem fine - the main loop is just waiting for an event to happen.

I could find noone with similiar problems so far. But actually buildroot
is shipping gstreamer-0.10 and glib 2.30 by default, so it's unlikely
that many people have done gstreamer-1.0 build. I update to glib 2.32
and gstreamer-0.10, which works fine. Then I update gstreamer to 1.0
which does not work.
Right now I am tryint to update to glib 2.34, maybe that helps.

Raspbian and Arch don't use uclibc, do they? This might be an important
difference.
