The steps to duplicate the problem are: 1) Install Rhythmbox from the software center 2) Open Rhythmbox 3) Go to edit/preferences and select the "music" tab 4) Notice the drop down box for the preferred format appears to be missing FLAC 5) Select this empty space and try to rip a CD 6) Get error message about "no suitable encoding profiles" as stated in the original report by Jens.
Here's an excerpt from my log. When selecting the blank spot on the drop down menu, which should be FLAC, the log does state "can encode audio/x-flac". Directly above it however, when looking for the profile it says "trying to check profile (null) for missing plugins" and "got request pad, profile (null) works". Compare this to selecting Ogg Vorbis, where it states "trying to check profile oggvorbis for missing plugins" and "got request pad, profile oggvorbis works". It seems to me the issue is this missing profile... it shouldn't be saying "profile (null)". So how do we get the proper profile installed?
