Hello Everybody.
In the mean time, I have found a suitable answer to my original question:
> how to get Clementine playing MMS radio streams at *Ubuntu 14.04?
The key to this solution, I found at askubuntu.com - at the page dedicated to
this question:
'(...)
Clementine won't play .wma, with “Your GStreamer installation is missing a
plugin” error
(...)'
The key to the solution is the so-called 'ffmpeg' plugin for gstreamer.010. I
have installed this one via a backport:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
After carrying out the above commands and restarting the system, Clementine
started playing the MMS radio streams flawlessly.
Conclusion: what works for .wma files, apparently also works for MMS radio
streams.
I hope this mail will benefit someone else.
Respectfully Yours,
Bas G. Roufs.
