I have the same problem as the original poster and I'm willing to provide any necessary debugging information. This bug has been here for several Ubuntu releases (currently running 9.04). I work around the problem by clicking "Click here to listen with your default audio player" and then right-clicking and opening the file in "Movie Player".
Here is the output from running "gst-launch" (no audio): $ gst-launch-0.10 playbin http://cougar.eb.com/soundc11/c/crysta02.wav Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause. ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0: No URI specified to play from. Additional debug info: gstplaybasebin.c(1642): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:playbin0 Setting pipeline to NULL ...
