Description Chris Rivers 2005-03-14 16:50:45 UTC
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.

Expected Results:  
mp3 file should have played
