I can confirm that the try4 patch (plus adding @LIBDL@ to LIBPTHREAD= in
loader/Makefile.in ) works great, both with wine git and 1.7.0 (on Gentoo
Linux). This is the only way to progress through the opening sequence in some
games that *require* working video support.

Hooking pthread_create is ugly, but at least it's future-proof (I had the
"pleasure" of debugging the same exact problem in winepulse a couple years ago,
which this solution would've also worked around) and it works. I can't think of
another way, short of getting the glib folks to revert the removal of the
custom threading hooks or switching to something other than gstreamer.

Is there a chance this patch will get merged?
