Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
Gstreamer 0.10 can not play freeformat mp3 (gstreamer 0.8 with the mad plugin can read them well, as well as mpg321). It is simple to reproduce: 1) Rip any music to wav in /tmp 2) Compress it with lame using the --freeformat option: lame --freeformat -b 128 my_music.wav 3) Try to play it using gstreamer: gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///tmp/my_music.wav.mp3 If you want I can upload a short mp3 sample that presents the problem. ** Affects: gst-plugins-ugly0.10 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Can't play free format MP3 https://launchpad.net/bugs/49522 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
