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 (Banshee:10810): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_state: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed GST-DEBUG: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file.

You might need to install the necessary plugins. 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
(In reply to comment #5) > 0.13.2 pulls in -bad > Then, maybe this could be also added to rhyhthmbox :-/
