Description theophile 2003-12-20 18:12:56 UTC 
If gst-typefind is run on an MP4 or M4A file, the output it this:

sample.m4a - "image/vnd.wap.wbmp"

gstreamer will not playback these files and rhythmbox compiled with mp4
support segfaults trying to open an mp4 file.

I did gst-typefind too and I got: ffmpeg_type_mov (video/quicktime)

But I doesn't play, here's the output from gst-play:

(gst-player:4125): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1893: signal
`have_vis_size' is invalid for instance `0x81711a8'
** Message: uri : 08 Scratch N Sniff.m4a result: Ugyldig URI
** Message: adding '08 Scratch N Sniff.m4a' with no mimetype
video_queue: waiting for the app to restart source pad elements

Hope this helps any.

I disabled the gdk_pixbuf typefinding, and also convinced the
quicktime typefinder to recognize .mp4 and .m4a files.
