totem/videos wouldn't resume after pause

Question

I have a problem that Totem/Videos sometimes woudln't resume after a pause. In these cases, however, it would resume play if I make any seek operation.

I tried to patch it playing with 'async' property of the cluttersink used by totem (as suggested in: How to resume playing after paused using gstreamer?) - but it didn't change the behavior.

Any suggestions?

My original patch to Totem has replaced autoaudiosink with fakesink. When I returned the sink to autoaudiosink the problem was solved.

It appears that Totem derives its clock from the audio stream, and for some reason using fakesink for audio sink make the pause operation malfunctioning.
