[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 33077] Banshee doesn't start

Affects: banshee (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Banshee refuses to start. This is probably because I don't have enough
gstreamer-0.8 installed (see output below) - and banshee doesn't require
enough of it even to produce a meaningful error message when run.

Here's what banshee says:

$ banshee
