Bug 110050 – GStreamer 0.8.10 have got problems with playing an mp3's

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Watzke 2005-10-21 10:37:32 UTC]

GStreamer 0.8.10 have got problems with playing an mp3's here.. (in amaroK). I 
must everytime quit amaroK and run gst-register-0.8. Because amaroK throw a 
dialog: GStreamer cannot play mp3, or so.. :/ 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =gstreamer-0.8.10 # and plugins with same version  
2. emerge amarok  
3. play mp3 
Actual Results:  
Hm, I must say: echo "=media-libs/gstreamer-0.8.11"  
>> /etc/portage/package.keywords (and plugins too) and now it works great.  

Expected Results:  
Mark 0.8.11 with plugins stable on amd64, or mark 0.8.10 testing on amd64, 
'cause 0.8.9 was good.

is it only an amarok issue?  ie with gst-plugins 0.8.10 can you do:
gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=/tmp/blah.mp3 ! mad ! alsasink ?

[Comment 2 David Watzke 2005-11-27 08:10:30 UTC]

I can't, 'cause now I've got newer version - 0.8.11. :( 

[Comment 3 Zaheer Abbas Merali (RETIRED) 2005-12-04 06:26:38 UTC]

As reporter cannot reproduce anymore, I am going to resolve it NEEDINFO

[Comment 4 David Watzke 2005-12-04 06:46:24 UTC]

I think the problem started when I was played a weird/broken/... mp3 in amaroK. 
But I dunno what is was...
