[Bug 58545] mp3 plugin causes very bad sound distortion

[saads]

Public bug reported:

When playing some mp3's that have deep electronic beats I would often get very strong distortion from my speakers or headset.  The distortion would persist even at low volume levels and even when the PCM output volume was low.  I discovered a recommendation at:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1437919&postcount=10

It involved removing the gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 package and making
sure that the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package is installed.  This
worked perfectly for me and others and well.  Now I have absolutely no
distortion.

I would recommend removing this package unless it is essential for
playback of certain media types that cannot be handled by the ugly
package.
