[Bug 305998] [NEW] Can't play free format mp3

[Paulo J. S. Silva]

Public bug reported:

It looks like the old bug #49522
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-
ugly0.10/+bug/49522). Gstreamer in intrepid stopped playing free format
mp3s.

1) Ubuntu release: 
Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10

2) Package version:  0.10.9-1

To reproduce it just do the following:

1) Rip any music to wav in /tmp

2) Compress it with lame using the --freeformat option:

   lame --freeformat -b 128 my_music.wav

3) Try to play it using gstreamer:

   gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///tmp/my_music.wav.mp3

Gstreamer will freeze saying "Pipeline is PREROLLING ..." No sound in
the speakers.

Such files play fine with mpg321.

I attach a file the shows the problem.
