[Bug 158185] brasero+gstreamer bug concerning gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3

[Kain]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

I have only verified this bug on x86, it may also exist on amd64 and
other archs.

When using brasero to create an audio CD, brasero will attempt to use
GST &c. to convert audio files to CDDA.

Steps to reproduce:
When using brasero with gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 installed, brasero will crash in the 'Getting Size' stage of preparing the volume with any combination of backends selected in GConf.

I have not been able to isolate the exact bug, but, based on the upstream (GNOME) developer's comment to GNOME bugzilla #420653, concerning the idea that this issue he thinks was experienced by a particular version of gstreamer:

I think that may probably be a problem with one version of gstreamer. Still I
don't have this problem (I had it a few times before) anymore. Especially with
the trunk.

This led me to inspect just which gstreamer plugins I had installed, in
particular for mp3 handling, and noticed that gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3,
was installed, which I suspect may be superfluous as a plugin with the
MAD and ffmpeg plugins.  Uninstalling this plugin removed the crash.

Suggested fix: mark gst-fluendo-mp3 source package as conflicting with
brasero.

Affected versions: 
brasero 0.6.1-0ubuntu1 (gnome i386)
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 0.10.5.debian-1 (universe/libs i386)
