gstreamer 0.8.8 is unable to find/link its plugins, they exist in /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8. The error message gives the correct pad and library name, but doesn't find/link it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start rhythmbox 2. Select/load a mp3 3. press play Actual Results: error occures, (rhythmbox:18530): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `audioconvert' has no type. This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry is broken. The plugin GStreamer was looking for is named 'gstaudioconvert' and is expected in file '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstaudioconvert.so'. The registry for this plugin is located at '/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml' *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x08698850 *** Killed Expected Results: playing music Tried following suggestions: 1. run gstreamer-register-0.8 as root 2. Did a complete rebuild of the system with current (3.4.3) gcc. emerge -Dev system (twice) emerge -Dev world After this I checked /var/lib/pkg for pakages which didn't compile in this run and removed them and did a emerge --Dev world again, (took me 5 days) Error still exsists!
More things I tried. gst-inspect-0.8 audioscale gives the same error. I removed all gstreamer and gst-plugins from the system (gcc 3.4.3 compiled), including all gstreamer applications like sound-juicer, rhythmbox, nautilus-media . Checked the file system for directories including the word gstreamer and erased them (.gstreamer-0.8 in home directory of root), after that I rebuilded the applications, pulling in gstreamer and gst-plugins as dependency. This all after emerge -Dev system and emerge -Dev world (twice), result error still exists.
your 'emerge info' ?

ran gst-register-0.8 as root ?
I did just a rebuild of glibc with USE="nomalloccheck", now the pointer isn't showing anymore but still no go! Yes, I ran gst-registert-0.8 as root Did it again just now 1. gst-register-0.8 2. ls -la /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstaudioscale.so Result: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16708 Jan 8 11:01 /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstaudioscale.so 2. gst-inspect-0.8 audioscale (as root and as user) Result of both: (process:1601): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `audioscale' has no type. This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry is broken.

I recompiled gstreamer and it s plugins with gcc 3.3.4 and now gst-inspect works!
For future information, the user registry is for plugins installed in your user's home directory. The system registry is /var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml and to debug registry issues, you should read that not the user one in /root./.gstreamer-0.8/
okay to close this out?
yep
