Missing Error Messages.

[Stirling Westrup]

I'm trying to track down an issue with error messages somehow going
missing or being unreported.

I have a pipeline (called "pipeline") holding a bin (called
"videostream_02") which has an xvimagesink element (called
"xvsink_02").
If I provide a bad output display name to the xvimagesink, it
generates an appropriate error message, but the watch I've added to
the pipeline never sees it.

Running under debug produces these relevant messages:

The code to add the watch to the pipeline (done just after first
creating the pipeline) is this:

gst_bin_add(GST_BIN(pipeline), reader);

// Install a message handler at the top level.
GstBus *bus = gst_pipeline_get_bus( GST_PIPELINE(pipeline) );
gst_bus_add_watch_full
    ( bus
    , G_PRIORITY_DEFAULT
    , bus_message_callback
    , data
    , bus_message_notify
    );
gst_object_unref(bus);



The watch handler seems to work, as it correctly catches EOS messages,
but it doesn't seem to get called for the ERROR message, and there's
no sign that bus_message_notify is ever called.
