I'm attaching a gdb backtrace I got from MB. As it can be seen there are hundreds of threads full of gst_* stuff

I don't really want to create a pinterest account, sorry :)
Can you provide logs please? See https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/Debugging#Debuggingmultimediastuff

Is this a deadlock then?
