Example code. Hangs after one or two playbacks.

The attached code (please change the file path appropriately) hangs after one or two playbacks of the song.

Updated file with working workaround

I'm having the same problem. The song consistently plays only once here; then when "about-to-finish" appears on the screen, the song stops immediately (instead of finishing) and is never repeated.

A solution proposed in a september 2011 thread[0] is a working workaround for me: if I set an explicit audiosink, even autoaudiosink, the song finishes correctly and immediately restarts every time. Please see the attached updated file.

Comment 3 Sjors Gielen 2012-04-03 16:17:59 UTC 
I had this problem on gstreamer 0.10.34 and 0.10.36, with the proposed workaround tested on 0.10.36 only (and working there). gst-python version 0.10.22, on a Mac OS X Lion machine with glib, gstreamer etc. installed from the Fink package manager.
