Description Ronald Hummelink 2005-03-14 20:58:32 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
A manual pipeline *src ! mad ! *sink will work, since the latest release of
gst-plugins, but playbin misses the proper logic to determine streamtype of
these free format mp3 files.

Partial fix was comitted to cvs, but this does not work on all files as yet
(about 90% of my collection is accepted by playbin now).

Samples have been provided to Ronald Bultje

Steps to reproduce:
gst-launch playbin uri=free-format.mp3

Actual results:
Fails to determine stream format

Expected results:
Sound ;-)

Does this happen every time?
yes

Your mp3s suck.

Anyway, your mp3 has faulty headers all over the place, leading to weird
detection errors which screwed up our lazy reset mechanism. This patch resets
better, and detects even this mp3 file. Please test. If you have more failing
files, please upload; all files you sent me are detected correctly now.

applied somewhat differently, but you get the idea...
