Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Nautilus is installed with audio file preview enabled by default.
However, this function doesn't work for MP3 which makes the function
appear broken.  There is no mention anywhere that for this to work,
mpg123 needs to be installed.  Why not use a feedback system that would
give the right information to the user.  For example, the audio preview
could be disabled by default, and when the user specfically enables it,
then ogg tools and mpg123 at least get installed automatically (with
proper message about the legality obviously).

This could be facilitated if nautilus was using gstreamer.  This way, it
might be possible to use the same system as in totem to automatically
install missing codecs?
