Instead of downgrading gstreamer, I think it would be better to simply disable that test on i686 for now. Most likely, it is due to tests that are intolerant of the double rounding that occurs on i686 without SSE2, where the old x87 FP instructions are used instead. The double rounding happens because x87 operations are performed on 80-bit double-extended precision floating-point numbers, which must then be rounded a second time when they are converted to 64-bit doubles as used in C. What do you think? Mark
