Hello,

After upgrading from Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) to 11.04 (Natty), I'm finding that
files transcoded by apps from FLAC to Ogg Vorbis won't play on my Android
phone. Both banshee and soundconverter are showing this problem; files I've
transcoded by hand with oggenc or gst-launch (with the following command)
aren't:

gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=foo.flac ! flacdec ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc
quality=0.6 ! oggmux ! filesink location=foo.ogg

I've created two Vorbis files of Pink Floyd's "Time" for comparison, one that
was transcoded with gst-launch and the other with soundconverter:

http://www.barbuto.org/Time.works.ogg
http://www.barbuto.org/Time.doesntwork.ogg

Though they both have the same sampling/bitrate settings, the latter is
slightly larger.

I initially submitted a bug report with Android
(http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17260), but it's
increasingly looking like a gstreamer issue.

I submitted a bug report with Ubuntu as well:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/790522
The Ubuntu changelog can be found at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/gstreamer0.10-plugins-base

I upgraded gstreamer to 0.10.34 using the PPA at
https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ppa, but it didn't fix the
problem.
