Hi Brian:

Yes, sorry, 2009.06.

I'm simply double clicking on a MP3 from the file browser, which is 
opening in Totem with the error:

"The video output is in use by another application. Please close other 
video applications, or select another video output in the Multimedia 
Systems Selector."

When I click OK and try to play the MP3 it says:

"The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder 
plugin which is not installed."

Using Rythmbox, the file opens with an import error:

"The GStreamer plugins to decode "MP3" files cannot be found"

Attached is the output from trying to Run in Totem from the terminal. 
Definitely some issues there :-).

Regards,
Brian
