Apologies, some parts of my comment (#2) seemed to have gone missing. I also wanted to add that I tried all kind of settings in /etc/pulse/daemon.pa and all kinds of 'fixes' for pulseaudio and non of them worked.
Since both VLC and mplayer have no problems with the playback and the diagnostics of post #1 are the same as mine, I subscrib to the idea that likely gst-plugins-good is the culprit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gst-plugins-good0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732410 Title: flac decoding is broken in some manner for gstreamer -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
