When I try to play something from within rhythmbox, the program does one of two things - it either crashes or gives one of several errors: "There is no plugin installed to handle a MP3 file" (when I try to use OSS as my sound device) OR "The application quit unexpectedly" (after I switched to ALSA). If I try to play a file by right-clicking on it in a file browser and selecting "Open with Music Player" I get the error message: "Internal GStreamer error: pad problem. File a bug" I tried to play a file by using the following command line statement: prompt> gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=music.mp3 ! mad ! alsasink I got the following error: RUNNING pipeline ... ERROR: from element /pipeline0/mad0: Internal GStreamer error: pad problem. File a bug. Additional debug info: gstpad.c(2517): gst_pad_set_explicit_caps: /pipeline0/mad0: failed to negotiate (try_set_caps with "audio/x-raw-int, endianness=(int)1234, signed=(boolean)true, width=(int)16, depth=(int)16, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2" returned REFUSED) Execution ended after 1 iterations (sum 14128000 ns, average 14128000 ns, min 14128000 ns, max 14128000 ns). I have emerged rhythmbox, gstreamer, gst-plugins, libmad, libid3tag, and gst-plugins-alsa. My sound is set up to use ALSA but not set up for OSS. I have used XMMS fine to play files, but I cannot get rhythmbox to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not have rhythmbox or any gstreamer items installed 2. Applicable USE flags: alsa, oss, mp3, mad, oggvorbis 3. emerge rhythmbox 4. emerge gstreamer 5. emerge gst-plugins 6. emerge gst-plugins-alsa 7. open rhythmbox (Music Player in applications menu) and try to play an mp3 in the media library Actual Results: Rhythmbox crashed, giving one of the errors described above in the description.
