[Bug 482246] [NEW] Totem cannot stream MIDI files over HTTP

[madbiologist]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

Using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala:

When using Totem's Open Location... menu item to open one of the links
at http://punk.mididb.com/clash/ Totem displays the error "An error
occurred - Internal data flow error".  The file does not play.

This is a result of Karmic's gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.14-4ubuntu1
package not supporting streaming MIDI files over HTTP, as can be seen by
issuing the command:

$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin2
uri=http://www.mididatabase.com/20091028/punk/clash/Rock_The_Casbah.mid

results in:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstSoupHTTPSrc:source: Internal data flow error.
Additional debug info:
gstbasesrc.c(2378): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstSoupHTTPSrc:source:
streaming task paused, reason not-linked (-1)
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

If the file is downloaded and the following command is issued the file
plays:

$ gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///tmp/Rock_The_Casbah.mid

According to comment 18 in bug #463102 there have been a number of
changes to the midi plugin in gstreamer since 0.10.14 for MIDI support.

Currently the latest version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is 0.10.16.
The release notes are at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/gst-
plugins-bad/0.10.16.html

Can we look into getting this latest version into Karmic-proposed?
