Description David Schleef 2010-12-17 04:16:42 UTC 
gst_pad_unlink() holds pad object lock while calling unlinkfunc.  This means that calls to gst_pad_get_parent() deadlock.

linking gets around this by dropping the object locks on the pads when calling linkfunc.  This seems equally bad.

Setting milestone target to 0.11.x

Don't know what to do here, holding the locks looks like the safest thing to do, this then also means that you should not take the pad locks.

What to do with this? WONTFIX?
