[Bug 966294] Re: Ubiquity loops forever from ubiquity_webcam_play

[Colin Watson]

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 and needs to be fixed there, AFAICS.
