Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Pretty much no one can use their webcam to take one off pitctures or
  video, since everyone uses cheese to do this and cheese depends on
  gstreamer working.

  [Test Case]

  1. Start Cheese
  2. Observe if mouse and keyboard are frozen

  [Regression Potential]

  Small, all this change does is ensure that the proper value for the
  size of the mmaped buffer is calculated.

  [Original Report]

  This is a bug in gstreamer-plugins-good.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Quantal 3.5.0-11 becomes totally unresponsive when starting a video from the built in webcam. Both mouse and keyboard  are frozen.

  I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions of both cheese and camorama and
  the result was the same. This was not an issue with Precise.
