My GStreamer-based application crashes on startup with errors about unfound
schedulers on the command-line. I get undefined behaviour as soon as any
GStreamer element is being initialized.

Your registry is probably missing, or it is outdated (i.e. not updated after
a recent upgrade). Fix this by running gst-register yourself:
<programlisting>
gst-register
</programlisting>
In the worst case, you might have to run it both as user and as root.

<para>
Note that package managers are suggested to run this automatically during the
post-installation. Our RPMs and Debian packages do just that.

<para>
If you run GStreamer CVS uninstalled, it means that something changed in
the core that requires a recompilation in the plugins. Recompile the
plugins by doing "make clean &amp;&amp; make".
</para>
<para>
If you run GStreamer installed, it probably means that you run the plugins
against a different (incompatible) version than they were compiled against,
which ususally means that you run multiple installations of GStreamer.
Remove the old ones and - if needed - recompile again to ensure that it is
using the right version.

Note that we strongly recommend using Debian or RPM packages, since you will
not get such issues if you use provided packages.
