Bug#702198: rhythmbox: Rhythmbox crashes everytime you play a file

[Lionel Landwerlin]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.97-2.1
Severity: important

Rhythmbox depends on GStreamer to play media files and also depends on WebKitGtk for its webview component.
Right now WebKitGtk depends on Gstreamer 1.0 where Rhythmbox depends on GStreamer 0.10.
I guess you can see where the problem come from. The plugins get completely messed up because 0.10 plugins register as 1.0 plugins or the other way around.

You get a bunch of errors like that:

Segmentation fault

I suppose the simplest solution to fix this is to update Rhythmbox to 2.98 which depends on Gstreamer 0.11/1.0.

Cheers,
