Losing audio on GStreamer-based video player after manual seek

[Stephane Travostino]

A bit of a weird one I'm not sure whose fault it is. 

When I open a video file the default GNOME video player (Totem) or with another GStreamer
based video player (such as Clapper from Flathub), audio and video works fine. If I seek
manually forward, audio is gone, while video keeps rolling. Sometimes, seeking forward
another time fixes it, but not always.

Doesn't happen with mpv-based video players, nor with VLC. No error in stderr. Any
idea what's going on and who might be the culprit? At least so I know where to open
the bug report.

This alone would tell me hardware but then...

...it working just fine with VLC or mpv-based players wouldn't make
sense. Aagh. This is definitely a messy one. Might be worth filing a
report with the players you're having an issue with, honestly. I don't
know what else to recommend other than that. Never really faced that
issue, since I usually just use VLC, haha.
