Fix segmentation fault with nouveau mesa driver (1.38 KB, patch)

Description Balló György 2011-10-03 00:44:08 UTC 
A recent commit[1] breaks video playback on systems that uses the nouveau classic mesa driver. When I start playing video in totem or sushi, I get an immediate segfault. I created a fix, which partially reverts this commit (see below).

Ooops, that is embarrassing. The bug is that you need to ask for the right type
with gst_structure_get_$type() and the masks are ints.

I did not see it because:

1/ I'm mainly testing with media-explorer and we make sure to have a pipeline
that gives YUV frames to the sink, It'd be nice to do the color space
conversion with the GPU for totem and sushi as well probably.

2/ I did not run the interactive tests, really need to make them non
interactive and part of a check target

anyway thanks for the patch, applied, I will release a 1.4.2 version today.
