Bugzilla Bug 150037

Attempting to play an m4a that banshee had just copied from my ipod I got this
message:

** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-m4a

I believe gstreamer uses the qtdemux plugin to play m4a files, and this is in
gst-plugins-bad.

if you install gst-plugins-bad it works ? I didn't add the whole dependency
because we divide gst-plugins-bad in lots of individual plugins i might add aac
use flag with that individual plugin instead.

Yes, when i installed gst-plugins-bad banshee would play the songs i ripped in
Itunes. Would you like an m4a to test with?

I have the same bug with rhythmbox...more info at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159538

problem is that most archs don't have it keyworded and it doesn't plan to go
stable ever. 

I think that could be nice adding an info message for installing
gst-plugins-bad if user wants to add aac support...

Thanks

0.13.2 pulls in -bad
