Please compile with debugging symbols. I guess you forgot to run gst-register or so. Also see information in your console while starting the app.
Nonetheless should GSTreamer handle the "no scheduler" situation gracefully and _not_ by segfaulting. Once again a stupid use of g_error.
It wouldn't help, people would complain that their GStreamer app doesn't start and doesn't give an (user-visible) error either...
Right, running gst-register-0.6 fixed it. I guess the debian package should call that at installation time?
yep, it should.
