I tried switching from gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 to gstreamer0.10 -fluendo-ugly (mp3 decoder is libmad), same problem. Does not seem related to the codec.

Playing the same file in rhythmbox does the same thing and the progress indicator keeps moving, suggesting playing but is just silent. If play the same file from the same server but via ssh or sftp, it plays fine: gst-launch-0.10 -v playbin2 uri="ssh://lion/media/music/Music/Therapy/Therapy - Nurse/Teethgrinder.mp3" If I manually build a chain of sinks using giosrc directly, rather than using playbin2, it plays ok: gst-launch-0.10 giosrc location="smb://lion/music/Music/Therapy/Therapy - Nurse/Teethgrinder.mp3" ! flump3dec ! autoaudiosink If I play a flac file from the same server (using playbin2 again), it also plays fine (yes, you heard right, hehe!): gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri="smb://lion/music/Music/Admiral Fallow/Boots Met My Face/Admiral Fallow - Boots Met My Face - 01 Dead Against Smoking.flac" I've attached logs with GST_DEBUG=*:5 for all the above commands. They all succeed except mp3 over smb. I'm using gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.36-1 on Precise. This started out as bug #977866 reported against rhythmbox, but I've found that it's a gstreamer (or gvfs?) problem, so am resubmitting here with a clearer report.
