Sebastien I can assure you that gstreamer packages were downloaded and installed onto my AMD64 test system following your comments. If you supply the name of the configuration item in question I can look through the package install log to advise you of the date and time it was installed.
Perhaps it would be easier if devs were specific about which configuration items have new revisions with the fixes, so test results can be more accurately related to them. Just as a suggestion mate :)
Anyway since other updates came along Ive since given this another round of testing. Generally there is improvement but there is a bunch of regressions. I have not concluded my testing but to provide initial problems:
1. The user experience has a serious blocker for DVD titles where the DVD menu sequence has a language selection menu item before the main menu. This means the user gets stuck on that screen with no apparent way to go forward. Later on gstreamer provides a UI with focus on clickable fields but this does not seem to occur before the main menu for language selection screens. This is a major issue for my native Region 4 DVD collection as this region typically has these types of menus in many different titles.
2. Trying another test with a dvd title that doesnt have language selection before the main menu, when I select to play the DVD I am not able to seek at all through the footage.
3. In a similar way when playing back the movie there is no response from Totem when a user selects to go back to the main dvd menu.
Have you conducted any unit tests on the SVN version of resindvd? Given resindvd is modular in nature and with what appears to me as a number of regressions in the so called released "bad plugin set" version theres an argument that the SVN version might actually have less harm that the "bad released" version. I dont think this point of view should be dismissed out of hand just because Intrepid is in beta - IMHO this specific situation is a bit unique. I also fully expect my ongoing testing in this area to reveal more problems.
