[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 733428] [NEW] Banshee refuses to sync with ipod touch due to missing converter

[Alex Forencich]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee refuses to sync with a new iPod touch 4.2.1.  The device seems
to be properly detected, however when attempting to drag an album to the
iPod, the transfer fails with

    The [ogg|mp3] format is not supported by the device, and no
converter was found to convert it.

The error messages are accompanied by debug logs of the form:

[5 Warn  03:07:58.970] Caught an exception - System.ApplicationException: The ogg format is not supported by the device, and no converter was found to convert it (in `Banshee.Dap')
  at Banshee.Dap.DapSource.AddTrackAndIncrementCount (Banshee.Collection.Database.DatabaseTrackInfo track) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at Banshee.Sources.PrimarySource.AddTrackList (System.Object cached_list) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

Earlier on in the debug output is a series of messages like this:

[5 Debug 03:07:57.557] Starting
[5 Debug 03:07:58.464] Initialized MediaProfileManager: 0.864807
[5 Debug 03:07:58.621] GStreamer pipeline does not run: audioconvert ! novellaacenc bitrate=128000 profile=2 outputformat=0 ! novellqtmux
[5 Debug 03:07:58.732] GStreamer pipeline does not run: audioconvert ! xingenc bitrate=128 ! id3v2mux
[5 Debug 03:07:58.804] GStreamer pipeline does not run: audioconvert ! fluwmaenc bitrate=64000 vbr=false ! fluasfmux

that seem to indicate the codec is missing.  However, all gstreamer
plugins seem to be installed.  Also, this is not a new bug, several
forum postings (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592840) are
floating around about the same issue.
