  GStreamer | gst-plugins-base | Ver: 0.10.21
           Summary: low bitrate (16kbps) mp3 files interrupted sound playing
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.21
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: mhycko at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.23/2.24
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
When opening low bitrate in Rhythmbox or Totem the sound is played interrupted
(sound - gap - sound - gap ...). For 128kbps mp3 files it is ok. 

The problem is with versions of gstreamer in the current 8.10 Ubuntu version.

In the previous version of Ubuntu 8.04 the sound was ok. 
(If I got it correctly in 8.04 there were, 0.10.18 version of gst-plugins-base
and 2.20 version of GNOME.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. open low bitrate (e.g. 16kbps) mp3 file in Rhythmbox
or 
1. open it in totem
or
1. put cursor over it in directory listing (totem starts play)




Actual results:
you shoud hear interrupted sound (sound-gap-sound-gap ...)

Expected results:
you hear it without "gaps" (uninterrupted)

Does this happen every time?
I have tested several 16kbps mp3 files on 3 different computer with Ubuntu 8.10
(Intel 64bit Ubuntu, 2x AMD 32 and 64 bit Ubuntu). And the result was the same.
Previously, there were 8.04 Ubuntus and these mp3 files could be played without
any problem.

Other information:
The bug was also filled in Ubuntu forums as a bug #342446 and there is also
short (10s) 16kbps file for demonstrating purposes.
