Sorry for not replying sooner.
In the meantime I upgraded to mandriva 2008.1, with :
perl-Glib-1.180-1mdv2008.1
perl-GStreamer-0.09-2mdv2008.1
libgstreamer0.10_0.10-0.10.17-3mdv2008.1
libglib2.0_0-2.16.2-1mdv2008.1

and I've also tested it with manually compiled versions of the latest gstreamer
library and plugins and perl bindings
GStreamer-0.11
gstreamer-0.10.19
gst-plugins-base-0.10.19
gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.8
gst-plugins-bad-0.10.7

It seems somethings have changed, or maybe I made some mistakes earlier.
With mp3 or ogg, it usually runs fine, but in some rare cases, crashes early.
With flac or mpc, it crashes reliably before the ~30th iteration.

Also it still crashes if I comment the line with $msg->type, the only way it
doesn't crash is by not changing the sink everytime or by not connecting to the
"message" signal (even an empty callback causes crashes).

The crashes are totally random, sometimes preceded by bogus error messages.
Usually ending with a "Segmentation fault", but also "*** glibc detected ***
perl: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x083f2c78" or "Out of memory!" ...
The backtrace are different each time.
I can't reproduce the crash when running under valgrind, the output doesn't
seem to contain anything useful, but I'll attach it.

I'm beginning to think it's a gstreamer bug and not a bug in the bindings.
