          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-bad
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: alex.kalderimis at magd.ox.ac.uk

Please describe the problem:
I can't get m4a files to play in any gstreamer programme. Some programmes
correctly index the files (banshee, exaile) while others fail to do so
(rhythmbox) but none play them. The files play perfectly well in VLC
mediaplayer. I have gstreamer0.8-faad, which is confirmed by gst-inspect.
Ogg/mp3/wma files play fine.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install gstreamer0.8-faad and a media player with gstreamer back-end
2. try to index and play an m4a file



Actual results:
It varies from freezing the programme to skipping through the tracks to failing
to notice them at all.

Expected results:
They would be correctly indexed and play.

Does this happen every time?
Yes
