Ok, I just updated the title to reflect reality. As far as I can tell, gstreamer doesn't loop, though the gtk client certainly hangs (debug log still shows frames being processed). I figured a fix for the regression by reverting part of an upstream commit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/926326/ The

Steve, ubiquity uses gstreamer directly, not via cheese. cheese is just another example of an application that runs into the same problem. Does anyone have any realistic proposals on how ubiquity might be made more robust in this specific case? I can't think of anything. It's a gstreamer bug
