Banshee segfaults with GStreamer error

[Alexander Hunziker]

After playing music with Banshee 1.2.1 for a while, it segfaults and dumps stuff like that to the terminal:

(Nereid:12592): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_structure_get_name_id: assertion `structure != NULL' failed

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem. Also see http://banshee-project.org/contribute/file-bugs/ for Banshee-specific steps that may be helpful.

I tried twice to upload a big error report using apport, but both times I got an error "HTTP Error 502: Bad Gateway" just before the upload finished. Executing banshee with mono --debug doesn't give more information than what you can find in the log. What else can I try?

This seems to be fixed in GStreamer CVS. See the currently last comment on Gnome bugzilla.

Can we please have a patch applied before Intrepid final?

Changed duplicate marking to reflect older bug with more discussion.
