Description Robert Ancell 2009-03-25 17:43:48 UTC 
in libgames-support/games-sound.c a crash will occur if gst_element_factory_make() returns NULL.  See documentation for details:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/stable/gstreamer/html/GstElementFactory.html#gst-element-factory-make

From Launchpad bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-games/+bug/146411

Cause:
GStreamer does not have any plugins?

Solution:
The sound thread should probably not run if cannot create the factory.
