foser, i CC'ed you just in case you'd seen this on x86. i think it's a PPC issue, though. i'm running gstreamer-0.4.2-r1 this sums it up: INFO ( 2172: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.4.2 INFO ( 2172: 0) CPU features: (00000000) NONE registry: loaded user_registry in 0.000363 seconds (/root/.gstreamer/registry.xml) registry: loaded global_registry in 0.092150 seconds (/etc/gstreamer/registry.xml) (gnome-sound-recorder:2172): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: file gstbin.c: line 350 (gst_bin_add): assertion `element != NULL' failed gnome-sound-recorder (pid:2172): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: S #0 0x0f02adc4 in g_on_error_stack_trace () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #1 0x0f02adb0 in g_on_error_stack_trace () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #2 0x0f3bd3fc in debug_log_handler () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.4.2.so.0 #3 0x0f048508 in g_logv () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x0f048730 in g_log () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 #5 0x0f3c2750 in gst_bin_add () from /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.4.2.so.0 #6 0x10006e44 in make_play_pipeline (window=0x1009a438) at gsr-window.c:1279 #7 0x1000737c in init (window=0x1006a6c8) at gsr-window.c:1419 #8 0x0f347aa0 in g_type_create_instance () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #9 0x0f332328 in g_object_constructor () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #10 0x0f331b3c in g_object_newv () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #11 0x0f332118 in g_object_new_valist () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #12 0x0f3318dc in g_object_new () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #13 0x10007520 in gsr_window_new (filename=0x1006b380 "Untitled.wav") #14 0x10003ce4 in gsr_open_window (filename=0x1 <Address 0x1 out of bounds>) #15 0x10004064 in main (argc=2147479280, argv=0xf02acb4) #16 0x0eeeff94 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
It runs fine on x86 hm, i remember some guy always telling me the ebuild needed some fixes for ppc, but he never actually sent me anything :(
this is fixed if gst-plugins is installed. my assessment is that gst-plugins should be added to the RDEPEND of gnome-media. foser, i'm going to reassign this to you since i don't know exactly version of gst-plugins gnome-media should depend on. nall.
fix it.. close it :)
