Description Paul Drain 2004-10-14 01:38:36 UTC 
With Totem 0.99.19, gst-plugins and gstreamer from CVS (October 14th 2004) on a
Ubuntu system, attempting to play ftp.klfcentral.com/music/The White Room -
Original Soundtrack/02 - The KLF - 3 a.m. eternal.mp3 will bomb out with:

** (totem:8715): WARNING **: could not link audio/x-raw-int,
endianness=(int)1234, signed=(boolean)true, width=(int)16, depth=(int)16,
rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2

(totem:8715): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gvaluetypes.c: line 785
(g_value_get_string): assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)' failed

(totem:8715): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gvaluetypes.c: line 785
(g_value_get_string): assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_STRING (value)' failed

However, gst-launch can play the file, using:

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location="02 - the klf - 3 a.m. eternal.mp3" ! spider !
esdsink

seems to work perfectly.

Can you run totem with --gst-debug=*play*:5 --gst-debug-no-color &> /tmp/log and
attach the log here?

totem with debug options above set

Two files selected in playlist, both audio only, neither of which play
correctly.
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2004-12-03 22:37:12 UTC 
This seemed to be the case because playbin sitll had a previous element linked.
I've added a workaround to make sure that doesn't happen. All mp3 files should
play fine now.
