Bug Description
[Impact]
Pretty much no one can use their webcam to take one off pitctures or video, since everyone uses cheese to do this and cheese depends on gstreamer working.
[Test Case]
1. Start Cheese
2. Observe if mouse and keyboard are frozen
[Regression Potential]
Small, all this change does is ensure that the proper value for the size of the mmaped buffer is calculated.
[Original Report]
This is a bug in gstreamer-
-------
Quantal 3.5.0-11 becomes totally unresponsive when starting a video from the built in webcam. Both mouse and keyboard are frozen.
I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions of both cheese and camorama and the result was the same. This was not an issue with Precise.
