1. On 64-bit Ubuntu natty(10.04 beta) gcc-4.5.2-6ubuntu5 fails to compile 'ext/ffmpeg/gstffmpegcodecmap.c' in gst-ffmpeg-0.10.11.1+gst20110318 due to a switch statement beinning at line 435.
BTW, gcc-4.4 compiles it well.
Error messages are following at the end of this report.


2. The switch statement is as follows:

    /* regardless of encode/decode, open up channels if applicable */
    /* Until decoders/encoders expose the maximum number of channels
     * they support, we whitelist them here. */
    switch (codec_id) {
      case CODEC_ID_AC3:
      case CODEC_ID_EAC3:
      case CODEC_ID_AAC:
      case CODEC_ID_DTS:
        maxchannels = 6;
        break;
      case CODEC_ID_WMAPRO:
      case CODEC_ID_TRUEHD:
        maxchannels = 8;
        break;
      default:
        break;
    }


3. This code is compiled with gcc-4.4, but is not compiled with gcc-4.5.2-6ubuntu5 due to internal compiler error.
It seems that this error begin to appear after I updated to gcc-4.5.2-6ubuntu5.

Anyhow, if I add 'maxchannels = 6' or 'maxchannels = 8' right below 'default:', both gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.5.2-6ubuntu5 comples the whole code without error.

A patch is as follows:

     }


4.  I'm not convinced whether this is correct or not, but I am suspicious about the switch statement after reading a reference page, ie.,
