Public bug reported:

Ubuntu version information:
Description:    Ubuntu 12.10
Release:        12.10

Rhythmbox version information:
  Installed: 2.97-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 2.97-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 2.97-1ubuntu5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When I click the "Install additional software required to use this
format" button in the Preferences | Music window the spawned dialogue
boxes all refer to Python (2.7) as the triggering application, i.e:

"Required plugin could not be found

Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to create media files of the
following type: Vorbis encoder"

I'd at least expect the name to be the application name (Rhythmbox), or
even better the X-GNOME-FullName key of the desktop file "Rhythmbox
Music Player".

These should probably be a separate bug report, but the following issues
also stand out to me:

1) the English in the "Required plugin could not be found" dialogue is a little 
awkward
2) The media files type isn't actually a media file type, but the name of the 
required software component.

Ideally the "not found" dialogue would read something like this example:

"Required plugin could not be found

Rhythmbox Music Player needs to install plugins to create media files of
the following type: Ogg Vorbis but they were not found."
