           Summary: Certain mp3s don't get played correctly
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

About 25% of my mp3s don't get played correctly by gstreamer and rhythmbox.  All
I hear is high-pitched garble.  All other music players handle my mp3s without a
problem.  When I recompiled rhythmbox to use the xine backend everything worked
just fine.

The gst-launch and gst-launch-ext commands also yields a high-pitched noise. 
When I run gst-launch like this:

gst-launch filesrc location="song.mp3" ! mad ignore-crc=1 ! osssink

the mp3 plays correctly.  I don't know what a crc is, but this seems to be the
only way to get gstreamer to play about 200 of my mp3s.  Although a large
portion of my mp3s come from some not so honorable sources, some of these mp3s I
know I ripped myself.  However, some of these songs are pretty old so I have no
idea what I used to rip them with.  I submitted a bug report since other audio
players can play my music correctly.

BTW, if its any useful I also had this problem with 0.6.x versions of gstreamer
and rhythmbox.

Here's one of the mp3s in question:
