[Bug 39050] Re: gstreamer crashes due to BadAlloc response from xv

[Scott Robinson]

That's a no-go.

I added the upstream patch into the debian/patches directory, and did a
"debuild binary", and installed both the new -plugins-base and -x
packages.

$ strings /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstxvimagesink.so | grep "triggered an XError"
xvimagesink triggered an XError. error: %s
$ gst-launch-0.10 videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-yuv,height=1024,width=768 ! xvimagesink
