It looks like the crash happened when trying to access the st->out_frame 
buffer that was set up by stream_gst_data() in the client.

I don't know why that would be the case: as far as I can tell that 
pointer is either valid or NULL; even if we return early from 
push_frame() or pull_frame().

It may not be related to the issue you've run into but the patch below 
should help quite a bit if you try running the client more than a minute 
or two:

diff --git a/gtk/channel-display-gst.c b/gtk/channel-display-gst.c
index b880ce4..9da078a 100644
--- a/gtk/channel-display-gst.c

         if (gst_memory_map(memory, &mem_info, GST_MAP_READ)) {
+            g_free(st->out_frame);
             st->out_frame = g_malloc0(mem_info.size);
             memcpy(st->out_frame, mem_info.data, mem_info.size);

I also have a patch that avoids copying the out_frame buffer but given 
the low CPU usage of the client that should not be an issue.

When does the freeze happen? A short freeze is normal during the 
transition from the regular transport to the video streaming but that 
happens in the mjpeg case too. Is the freeze temporary?

Nothing jumped at me in this log.

In my experience the VP8 encoder saturates a core which is why it is not 
smooth. When running a test pipeline through gst-laucnh I'm able to 
solve that by playing with vp8enc's speed and threads parameters but for 
some reason these have no effect in Spice.

gst-launch videotestsrc ! video/x-raw-rgb,width=1024,height=768 ! \
           ffmpegcolorspace ! vp8enc speed=2 threads=4 ! \
           vp8dec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! fpsdisplaysink
