@dino99: I guess this is related to the flash plugin. I only get this error with installed flash plugin. Maybe the new preview releases from adobe fixes this. But I doubt it. Maybe it's not Flash's fault at all. However, to work around the problem: Do once in terminal: rm -f ~/.xsession-errors*

The weird thing is, when you check those vbr mp3s created with sound- juicer in VLC (Ctrl+i there the "statistics"-tab) the vbr-bitrate only varies around 10 kb/s or even less, up and down.

The problem in Gutsy is, that you can't select pipelines in sound-juicer which include "xingmux". They simply will not appear. This is the bug, I think. Though they are available in gnome-audio-profiles-properties and active. "xingmux" is pretty much needed to get correct metadata in VBR-mp3. Th
