Comment (by mta@…):

 It seems that gst-plugin-scanner is a helper  that scans GStreamer plugins
 as part of rebuilding the cache of plugins.  It seems to be hanging
 writing to a pipe back to the parent process.  I have no idea why that
 process isn't listening.

 I found a discussion of what seemed to be a similar problem at
 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/gstreamer-
 devel/2011-November/033898.html although it described a loop instead of a
 hang.  Based on what I found there, I added
 {{{
 build.env-append      "GST_REGISTRY_FORK=no"
 }}}
 to the Portfile for gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad.  This caused it to not use
 gst-plugin-scanner to rebuild the cache and avoided the problem.  It's not
 a fix, of course, but it seems to work around the problem.
