[Bug 42247] gstreamer0.10 refuses to play certain valid MP3s (not all, but some)

[Jacob D'Agostino]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gst-plugins-ugly0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Certain MP3 files in my collection will not play with gstreamer. I have tested these files with xine and they work fine. They also play correctly under several Windows-based players. Under anything powered by gstreamer0.10, however, they fail. A nice freely available example of MP3s (I have others, but distributing them would violate copyright laws, of course) that fail to play under gstreamer0.10 is the Penny Arcade Podcast:

Every one of these files fails to play with gstreamer0.10, and plays fine on a player with the xine backend (totem-xine or amaroK, to name two).
