    pluginloader: make sure gst-plugin-scanner is called with the right arch on OSX · 159cf687
    Jan Schmidt authored
    On OSX, GStreamer might be built as a 'fat/universal' binary containing
    both 32-bit and 64-bit code. We must take care that gst-plugin-scanner
    is executed with the same architecture as the GStreamer core, otherwise
    bad things may happen and core/scanner will not be able to communicate
    properly.
    
    Should fix issues with (32-bit) firefox using a 32-bit GStreamer core
    which then spawns a 'universal' gst-plugin-scanner binary which gets
    run in 64-bit mode, causing 100% cpu usage / busy loops or just hanging
    firefox until killed.
