Emerging media-sound/banshee-0.12.1 fails to detect decodebin during the configure script. Eventually the gst-inspect command ($ /usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 decodebin) will cause an instance of gconf2 to consume 100% processor resources. I've never been successful in getting this to emerge. The gst-inspect command can find the plugin if executed manually. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =media-sound/banshee-0.12.1 2. Wait for gconf2 instance to consume 100% of a processor 3. Kill one of the 2 gst-inspect commands to cause the configure script to fail Actual Results: See description. Expected Results: Detected the decodebin plugin via the gst-inspect command.

bashee is not gnome.
This is still a problem with the newer ebuild. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
seems to me a bug caused by gstreamer and not banshee. Adding gstreamer herd and see what they thing about this.
Any News on this bug ?
*** Bug 180931 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As far as I can tell, this is still a problem. I am trying to track down which package might be causing this. I have also noticed gnome-media behaving the same way, but if I kill the instances of gst-inspect, it complains it couldn't find the autosink but still seems to move on and successfully compile. All of the installed gstreamer plugins have been installed and the gst-inspect commands work from the command-line. I'm running low on ideas.
Since the Gentoo devs are asleep at the wheel, I took it upon myself to figure out why this keeps failing. I had my PORTAGE_TMPDIR set to an NFS v3 share (as noted in the bug). Changing this back to a local ReiserFS mount, everything emerged safely. This bug is now 7 months old and no progress has been made. I certainly hope this can be fixed finally.
