           Summary: When using the '--playbin2' switch, MP3 followed by
                    FLAC, or vice versa, does not work
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Normal

I'm using Decibel Audio Player version 1.02 under Ubuntu version 9.04. (I don't
know which version of gstreamer to specify, because I'm not sure which of the
12 gstreamer components identified by Synaptic as being installed on my
computer is the one in question).

When I launch DAP with the '--playbin2' switch, (to activate the necessary
gapless capability), alternating FLAC files and MP3 files in the playlist
results in playback stopping during the transition from one filetype to the
other.

To replicate, launch Decibel Audio Player with the '--playbin2' switch. Then
add a FLAC file to the playlist, followed by an MP3 file. Play the FLAC file,
and note that when it is finished playing, the MP3 file does not play, although
the arrow indicating the current song has moved from the FLAC file to the MP3
file. Then swap the FLAC file and the MP3 file in the playlist, play the MP3
file first, and note the same behaviour during the transition from MP3 to FLAC.

This behaviour does not occur when DAP is launched without the 'playbin2'
switch.
