You are right. This bug report (#1200818) is about which trouble the Gstreamer bug causes to Nuvola Player: the old GST 1.0.x bug made Nuvola Player hang during loading Google Play Music website. However, the new GST 1.2.x bug seems not to have this side effect.

> If you can no longer reproduce the issue on your GST install, then it's probably worth a comment on the upstream bug. As mentioned, I can very much still reproduce the problem both with the gst-launch example with the data: uri, or a gst-launch with the data converted to a real file, and inside nuvola player itself as a practical example, and this is with gstreamer 1.2.2.

I was not able to reproduce the issue with GST 1.1.x, only with GST 1.0.x. However, I have just tried GST 1.2.4 and it seems to contain a new bug. The both bugs cause GST not to be able to play datauri streams, but there is one significant difference: GST 1.0.x gst-launch-1.0 test command hangs and must be interrupted by Ctrl+C, GST 1.2.4 doesn't hang.

Also, the GST 1.2.4 bug seems not to affect Nuvola Player, I can play music through HTML5/Gstreamer with GST 1.2.4 (with HTML5 Audio enabled in Labs settings and inactive All Access subscription).

Great, I will post there my observations :-)
