Public bug reported:
I think that there are different versions of .asf files (8,9,...).
Gstreamer is probably not compatible with the newest or the older
versions. But it's a sheer guess. Here are 2 files, one of them plays in
Totem 2.30 (and in any other program), the other one not, giving me this
message after doing a an unsuccessful search for codecs:
No packages with the requested plugins found
The requested plugins are:
audio/x-asf-unknown decoder
It plays something then, but it's soundless and very low quality. When I
compare the 2 files' properties it gives me different codecs for them,
however it says the both of them are the same "ASF video (video/x-ms-
asf)" formats. The problem affects the Totem and Mplayer browser plugins
too. (Bloody Windows formats...)
You're probably aware of this, I'm posting this just for the case...
Thanks!
