[DRE-maint] Bug#552127: ruby-gnome2: segfaults opening mms:// with gst, after opening another stream type

[Simon Arnaud]

Package: ruby-gnome2
Version: 0.19.3-1
Severity: important

Hi

The playbin element of Gst::ElementFactory segfaults ruby if it opens an "mms://" URI after opening an "http://" one.

I tested with ruby 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1 with 0.19.3, installed from source, and the segfaults does not happen.
It was also tested on mandriva (1.8.7 and rg2 0.19.2), and it does not segfaults.

Here is  small testcase posted in ruby-gnome2-devel:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: UTF-8

require 'gst'

r1='http://mp3.live.tv-radio.com/lemouv/all/lemouvhautdebit.mp3'
r2='mms://viplagardere.yacast.net/encodereurope2'

class Player
	def initialize
		@playbin=Gst::ElementFactory.make('playbin')
		@playbin.ready
	end
	
	def play(uri)
		@playbin.uri=uri
		@playbin.play
		p uri
	end
	
	def stop
		@playbin.stop
		p 'stop'
	end
end

player=Player.new
player.play(r2)
sleep 10
player.stop
player.play(r1)
sleep 10
player.stop
player.play(r2)
sleep 10
player.stop

regards
