+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #380342 +++

Please describe the problem:
Totem does not play mp3 files (I've not tested with other, sorry) when a text
file with the same base name as the audio one is present. Totem advices that a
subtitle stream has been detected but there is no video.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Suppose that you have an mp3 file named "my.song.mp3"
2. Create a text file in the same directory with the name "my.song.txt"
3. Try to reproduce "my.song.mp3" with totem

Actual results:
An error window will appear advertising that a subtitle stream has been
detected but there is no video to reproduce.

Expected results:
I expect totem to be able reproduce the audio file.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.



Basically, this should work:

  gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///path/to/foo.mp3 
suburi=file:///path/to/README.txt

(if the subtitle-decodebin errors out, playbin will just ignore the subtitle,
so either we make decodebin2 error out in this case, just like decodebin, or we
add this logic to playbasebin somehow to achieve the same result).
