Slow motion video in Totem

Description

I keep having a strange problem with Totem (using the Gstreamer backend). Every so often when I watch a movie, the video slows down to only a few frames per second, but audio is fine. This can happen spontaneously, but is easiest reproduced by pausing the movie for a long period (several minutes) and resuming playback.

Restarting Totem doesn't help, I still get slow video and normal audio, but restarting pulseaudio gets everything back to normal.

When this happens, pulseaudio starts using a lot more CPU than normal, it goes from 2-3% up to 18-19%. Usually this is where it shuts down automatically, so I'm now using "no-cpu-limit = yes".

I'm using PulseAudio 0.9.13 on Debian sid/unstable, kernel 2.6.27. The built-in sound card is identified as 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller.

I'm attaching backtraces from both totem and pulseaudio when this happens.

A very similar problem is discussed in this Ubuntu bug report; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/221488

It's also similar to ticket 240, but I haven't used suspend before this happens.

I'm only having this problem with Totem+GStreamer, so should I report this bug to the GNOME bugzilla instead?
