Description Sitsofe Wheeler 2009-10-26 16:58:53 UTC 
Description of the problem:
Back in Ubuntu 8.04 gstreamer was able to play a particular RealAudio file but with 9.10 this file seems to just hang.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run
wget http://wso.williams.edu/~aeatonsa/bomb/audio/real/Track13.ra
gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=Track14.ra ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink
.

Expected results:
Remixed version of the classic Bomberman battle music scale to be played.

Actual results:
The following is printed:
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstPulseSinkClock

but no music is produced.

How reproducible is the problem?
It is reproducible every time.

Additional information:
The file plays in the gstreamer bundled with Ubuntu 8.04.

The file contains AC-3

Playback doesn't start here either.
