Some rtsp streams don't play with plugins-base 0.10.15

For example youtube rtsp streams don't play for me with libgstreamer-plugins-base 0.10.15 anymore: $ totem rtsp://rtsp.youtube.com/youtube/videos/HcCTM8pX39A/video.3gp If I downgrade libgstrtp-0.10 from 0.10.14 the streams do play, so this could be related to changes in basertpdepayloader.
Any chance you could test it with the 0.10.15.2 core & base pre-releases, so we know whether it still needs fixing?
Worksforme with CVS.
Works better for me too with cvs core & base, I think the main problem was that upgrading rtpmanager from plugins-bad and rtp/rtsp from plugins-good was needed too. Sometimes I still have missing audio or video, but I guess that's a different issue from this bug.
The most important thing to me with this release is to avoid regressions in the combination of released packages. That means 0.10.16 core+base should work with plugins good 0.10.6. That URL you gave doesn't work for me, which could just be because I don't have an AMR, but I'd like someone who knows something about RTSP to reassure me :)
My experience with the youtube stream is as follows: core+base (cvs), good (0.10.6), ugly with amr support * doesn't play update plugins-good/rtp from cvs head, mainly h263p depayloader * plays, but no a/v sync update plugins-bad/rtpmanager from cvs head * plays, a/v sync ok
I'm not sure I can point to the one patch that breaks/fixes it. The timestamps and synchronisation were defined and fixed all over the map. This required fixes to basesrc, udpsrc, rtpmanager and the payloader. That's -core, -base, -good and -bad. Not having proper support for it in one of the modules could easily break things. Can we assume it's not a problem when you use all modules with proper support?
'all modules with proper support' won't be available until after good/bad/ugly get another release, which sucks. In the meantime, people are going to be stuck with a regression in RTSP support.
