I am doing gapless playback of matroska file with one h264 track.

With ugly 0.10.14 all works fine. With 0.10.16 the first file plays fine, when i switch to the second file the processing stops for about 6 to 9 seconds. I have a custom application with this issue, but i describe how to reproduce it.

Versions that I use in both cases:
gstreamer-0.10.31
gst-plugins-base-0.10.31
gst-plugins-good-0.10.26
gst-ffmpeg-0.10.11
gst-python-0.10.20

Versions that work:
gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.14
x264-snapshot-20090621-2245

Versions that don't work:
gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.16
x264-snapshot-20101201-2245
