Hm, ok. This might be related to broken re-embedding then, which was a
small bug that might have larger effects for some people. We just
checked in a fix to playbin (gst-plugins) and totem. Can you try if
those fix it? You'll need current CVS. If you want, you can apply those
on a further vanilla 0.8.5/0.99.17 tree (*). Whichever you prefer. If
you want, we can open a bugzilla report for this.

Thanks,

Ronald
