I decided to install Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Beta and it has Gnome 2.20 final so I
gave it another shot.  The audio still has the issue of skipping when played
back on Totem or Rhythmbox Music Player.  If I try using VLC to play the
resulting audio file, it just has no audio.  However, now 'gst-launch-0.10
playbin' returns this:

joel at laptop:~$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///home/joel/Under.m4a
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
sh: jackd: not found

and just keeps repeating everything from the word 'WARNING' to the word ',
resynching'.

Using gst-inspect-0.10 | grep faad returns:
joel at laptop:~$ gst-inspect-0.10 | grep faad
faad:  faad: AAC audio decoder

It probably has something to do with handling the encoding process because AAC
files encoded directly with FAAC using Grip play fine in Totem and Rhythmbox. 
Currently, playback only becomes an issue when the songs are encoded using this
plugin.
