The '#' in the URI needs to be escaped properly if it's part of the
location part of an URI.

Try this:

{
  gchar *uri, *fn;

  uri = gst_filename_to_uri ("/path/Track #1.mp3", NULL);
  g_print (" uri: %s\n", uri);
  fn = g_filename_from_uri (uri, NULL, NULL);
  g_print ("file: %s\n", fn);
  g_free (fn);
  g_free (uri);
}

'#' has a special meaning in URIs so must be escaped.
