When playing certain files, playback abruptly and prematurely ceases at a position apparently specific to the file. This appears to be an issue with playback of only a small portion of the song; if I use a player capable of seeking and seek to past the point of failure, playback continues normally. I initially noticed this problem with Quot Libet, but can consistently reproduce it in Totem so I'm led to believe it's GStreamer that has the problem, and not the consuming application.

Neither of the aforementioned applications present any errors (to stderr, internal error log, or as a popup message) when encountering the issue, and simply continue to the next song in the playlist. Additionally, `flac -t "$file"` does not report any issues with affected files, and both `flac -dc "$file" | aplay` and `ffplay "$file"` correctly play affected files.

Attached is an example case, of which playback ceases at approximately 0:02, so you don't have to listen too far in to notice it. I've only seen the problem with FLAC files, but the vast majority of files in my library are FLAC, so it may not be a problem with FLAC exclusively.

This may or may not be related to #150513. The submitter of that issue notes that the event occurred for him at a different position in the song every time; that is not the case for me – I see it happen at the same position every time.
