An "internal data stream error" occurs when visualization is changed to or from monoscope while playing .spx file

[Erik B. Andersen]

I found this problem in totem first, and then I also noticed it happened in rhythmbox. The apport collection is for totem after I produced the error.

*Totem*
Binary package hint: totem

When I play the "Aesop's_Fables,_Volume_1_(Fable_1)_-_The_Fox_and_The_Grapes.spx" file (which is included in the example files for Lucid) and I click on the Ed
it (menu) > Preferences and then the Display (tab) and change the type of visualization to or from monoscope, I get an error window that says "An error occurred <blank line> Internal data stream error". The file stops playing and the visualization freezes, but if you click play again, totem will play the file from the starting (not where you left off) and the visualization will work.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the Aesop's Fables file I mentioned
2. Go to Edit > Preferences, then go to the display tab.
3. If the type of visualization is monoscope,
          switch it to something else.
    otherwise,
          switch it to monoscope.
4. Notice the error message.

Now that you have seen the error message, let's see what it's supposed to do:
1. Open the Aesop's Fables file I mentioned
2. Go to Edit > Preferences, then go to the display tab.
3. If you have monoscope as the type of visulization,
         switch it to something else, click OK on the error message, and click play again on the main totem window.
4. Change the visualization from any non-monoscope one to any other non-monoscope one. Notice that the visulization changes, the song keeps playing, and there is no error message.

I will attach a video.

I have also reproduced this bug on a x86 computer running the ubuntu 11-19-2009 daily live cd.

*Rhythmbox*

To reproduce it in RhythmBox, do the following:

1. Open a .spx file and start it playing
2. Click the visualizations Icon (near the top) so you can see the visualization
3. Put your mouse over your visualization. A gui bar will appear at the bottom of the visualization
4. Change the visualization to or from monoscope. Notice the visualization disappears, and the song stops playing, much like with totem.

I'll attach a video of reproducing the crash in rhythmbox.

In this video, I:

1. Open the mentioned file
2. Go to Edit>Preferences, then Display tab.
3. Change between various Type of Visulization that are not monoscope.
4. Change to monoscope.
5. Close the error window and click play again, showing the visualization working and totem starting at the start of the song.

I just found out that this also occurs in RhythmBox. To reproduce it in RhythmBox, do the following:

1. Open a .spx file and start it playing
2. Click the visualizations Icon (near the top) so you can see the visualization
3. Put your mouse over your visualization. A gui bar will appear at the bottom of the visualization
4. Change the visualization to or from monoscope. Notice the visualization disappears, and the song stops playing, much like with totem.

I'll attach a video of reproducing the crash in rhythmbox.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GStreamer is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.

Still happens after an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade -y on lucid. I have version 0.10.21-1ubuntu3 of the good plugins.
