[Bug 49522] Can't play free format MP3

[Paulo J. S. Silva]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

Gstreamer 0.10 can not play freeformat mp3 (gstreamer 0.8 with the mad
plugin can read them well, as well as mpg321).

It is simple to reproduce:

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

If you want I can upload a short mp3 sample that presents the problem.

** Affects: gst-plugins-ugly0.10 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
