FYI... at least one class of segfaults were attributable to the fact that I was using an older version of gstreamer-plugins-mp3 (0.8.5) from livna. Installing ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/rpm.livna.org/fedora/3.91/i386/RPMS.testing/gstreamer-plugins-mp3-0.8.8-0.lvn.1.3.91.i386.rpm and rerunning gst-register (and restarting RB) prevents RB from segfaulting when attempting to play some mp3 songs. Very good. - C
