Public bug reported: It looks like the old bug #49522 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins- ugly0.10/+bug/49522). Gstreamer in intrepid stopped playing free format mp3s.
1) Ubuntu release: Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 2) Package version: 0.10.9-1 To reproduce it just do the following: 1) Rip any music to wav in /tmp 2) Compress it with lame using the --freeformat option: lame --freeformat -b 128 my_music.wav 3) Try to play it using gstreamer: gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///tmp/my_music.wav.mp3 Gstreamer will freeze saying "Pipeline is PREROLLING ..." No sound in the speakers. Such files play fine with mpg321. I attach a file the shows the problem. ** Affects: gst-plugins-ugly0.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't play free format mp3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-ugly0.10 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
