For a while now (ever since the gstreamer update from 0.8 to 0.10) ...
gnome-settings-daemon crashes upon startup in the function
acme_volume_gstreamer_open():
gnome-settings-daemon/actions/acme-volume-gstreamer.c:299

the code there is trying to free what is supposed to be a glib list
structure:
g_list_free(mixer_list);

mixer_list gets assigned at line 291:
mixer_list = gst_audio_default_registry_mixer_filter (_acme_set_mixer,
                                                          TRUE,
                                                          self);


This seems to be corresponding to the following backtrace section Yuri
provided:

Somehow  the  mixer_list there is what seems to be a truncated 32bit
pointer.
