Title:
  gst-plugin-scanner hangs, eating CPU time

Status in gstreamer1.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  gst-plugin-scanner is eating 100% CPU time which leads to unusable Ubuntu. It appears couple of times daily. 
  (My guess is that it is causing by application firefox , skype , totem , nautilus ).

  Ubuntu 13.10

  Only help is:
  killall -9 gst-plugin-scanner
  (but it appears again sometimes.)

  
  I have attached:
  gst-inspect-1.0 > ~/gst-inspect-1.0.log
  gst-inspect-0.10 > ~/gst-inspect-0.10.log

  
  Kind Regards,
  Martin
