the file in question

I'm not sure what's going wrong here, but decodebin gets stuck trying to handle this file. It apparently looks enough like mpeg audio for decodebin to run it through mpegaudioparse and mad, but there seems to be an error posted somewhere that decodebin doesn't process, so it just stops there. I don't know what the file is exactly, but it's related to TI's msp430 toolchain. Definitely not an actual media file.

Interestingly, 0.10 typefind thinks it's video/x-h264, and it doesn't seem to cause any problems there.

gst-discoverer and also playbin don't get stuck on it anymore with latest git at least.
