Quoting Marcus Meissner
Would an upstream patch change this situation?
(Also asking because inkscape has a similar problem with poppler. Direct use of libpoppler (opposed to its qt, glib, ... wrappers) is discouraged by poppler, but necessary in this specific case. popplers ABI changes frequently).
If upstream would accepted this, it would be fine.
Due to the identified GType registration clashes, which are likely not resolvable, I don't see much chance for that anymore. Thus, carrying a patch would result in a 100% non-portable binary generation on openSUSE: no binary created with openSUSE 12.3 linking Gstreamer could be shared with ANY OTHER Linux distribution. Thus I don't think openSUSE should consider this option. so the only solution we have are: - Disable libcanberra-gtk module loading (we will loose some notification sounds) - Port apps to GStreamer 1.0 (as requested as target at the beginning of 12.3 cycle). - Life with the crashes. For the GstMixer interface removal: upstream considers this highly broken and that's the reason it was removed. Any implementation of a mixer is supposed to interact with either PA,Alsa,OSS,<sound daemon> on it's own.
