Synopsis: Registry bug crashes rhythmbox
Bugzilla-Product: GStreamer
Bugzilla-Component: gst-plugins
Bugzilla-Version: 0.8.4
Description:
Description of Problem:
As of today, rhythmbox segfaults on playback. Seems there is something
wrong with the registry. I have a dir ~/.gstreamer-0.8, with one file in
it -- registry.xml, which is just an empty template. Copying
/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml to ~/.gstreamer-0.8 didn't change
anything.

Trying to play back an mp3-file produces this output:
pc@rocket:~$ rhythmbox

** (rhythmbox:26709): CRITICAL **: how to remove plugins?

(rhythmbox:26709): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `id3demux' has no
type. This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry
is broken. The plugin GStreamer was looking for is named 'mad' and is
expected in file '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstmad.so'. The registry for
this plugin is located at '/home/pc/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml'
Segmentation fault

With Internet-radio, there is an (unrelated?) GLib-error and another
plug-in without type, which however depends on the same libs:
pc@rocket:~$ rhythmbox

(rhythmbox:26765): GLib-CRITICAL **: file gtimer.c: line 182
(g_timer_elapsed): assertion `timer != NULL' failed

** (rhythmbox:26777): CRITICAL **: how to remove plugins?

(rhythmbox:26777): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `mad' has no type.
This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry is
broken. The plugin GStreamer was looking for is named 'mad' and is
expected in file '/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstmad.so'. The registry for
this plugin is located at '/home/pc/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml'
Segmentation fault

Any ideas, what could be wrong there?

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. start rhythmbox from console
2. try to playback file/radio
3. 

Actual Results:
segfault

Expected Results:
normal playback

How often does this happen?
regularly
