Not sure what the problem here is. GStreamer handles the file "properly" for
me: it tries to play the file, looks through it to see if it finds anything
useful somewhere and then fails because it contains only garbage. And this
happens in ~3 minutes here. Not sure what else should be done on such broken
files.

I'm closing this bug as such, if there's a crash with this file or gstreamer
hanging forever please reopen with a backtrace :)

(Also, doesn't banshee use taglib-sharp for reading the metadata when importing
and only uses GStreamer for playback?)
