Comment 7 for bug 1096589

Sorry for the late reply as I had a busy week. I had a gstreamer update
tonight but I'm not able to test yet (have to sleep), so I will test it
again later and see how it goes. I believe it might be Pulseaudio related
in VLC's case for sure. It seems to also occur with Firefox when playing
youtube videos or other flash content (the plugin-container process freezes
Firefox occasionally, and killing it unfreezes it).

As for the gdb trace - I don't think I'll go through with that seeing as
someone else has covered it :)
