[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 508896] [NEW] Search for suitable plugin dialog useless

Binary package hint: gnome-media

I play my music with banshee, and it plays everything fine.  But every
once in a while Ubuntu brings up a dialog box titled "Search for
suitable plugin?", which claims that it can't play something.  If I try
to search for a plugin, it has never yet been able to find anything.

What's really annoying is that if I click "cancel", Banshee skips the
currently playing track.  Apparently the dialog box is too stupid to
realise that the media player might have moved on since it wasted all
that time searching for a non-existent plugin.

The other really frustrating thing about this dialog is that it doesn't
provide any information about which file it's talking about.  It just
says "this file", as if I manually clicked on the track.

And finally, when it fails to find a plugin to play the file, it doesn't
record that fact anywhere and goes through the same sequence the next
time it hits a file it doesn't understand.

I have no idea which package this bug belongs to.  It's not banshee,
since I can quit banshee entirely and the dialog box doesn't go away.
It must be somewhere down in the tangled mess that is the Gnome
multimedia system.
