Pidgin backtrace

Trying to establish a video call using Pidgin on Linux with a client on Windows going via a Lync / 365 server. The video call window appears for one or two seconds then Pidgin crashes. Examination of the logs indicate that it is Farstream that has crashed. I am running on Ubuntu 13.10. I'm using Pidgin and the SIPE plugin from a software build not from the Ubuntu repositories. The debug output from Pidgin is attached.

Sadly this is not a Farstream bug.. It seems like it's a bug in the GStreamer x264enc element. To make a useful backtrace, please install the debug symbols for libx264 and gst-plugins-ugly, and file a bug on gst-plugins-ugly at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/. Also, you may want to run pidgin with GST_DEBUG=fsrtpconf*:9 and attach the log here, I'll check it out.
