--- Comment #70 from Hector Martin marcan@marcansoft.com 2013-09-14 10:36:31 CDT --- I can confirm that the try4 patch (plus adding @LIBDL@ to LIBPTHREAD= in loader/Makefile.in ) works great, both with wine git and 1.7.0 (on Gentoo Linux). This is the only way to progress through the opening sequence in some games that *require* working video support.
Hooking pthread_create is ugly, but at least it's future-proof (I had the "pleasure" of debugging the same exact problem in winepulse a couple years ago, which this solution would've also worked around) and it works. I can't think of another way, short of getting the glib folks to revert the removal of the custom threading hooks or switching to something other than gstreamer.
Is there a chance this patch will get merged?
