I have no idea what's going on here.

The accents and other non-ASCII characters shouldn't pose a problem for
GStreamer. From GStreamer's point of view, those are just some byte values that
correspond to some byte values in the filesystem directory structure. Byte
values that are not printable non-space ASCII characters will need to be
escaped when creating an URI, before passing that URI to GStreamer.

The problems you had with gst-launch and the shell are due to you not escaping
things properly when passing it to the shell.

The stack trace suggests a crash in libsoundtouch, but there aren't any usable
details I'm afraid. Also, I really don't know why this would only happen with
files with a certain filename - might just be a concidence.

If you still have this problem with current versions of GStreamer, you need to
install libsoundtouch and GStreamer packages (esp. gst-plugins-bad) with
debugging symbols, so we can see exactly where it's crashing and why.

Moving to -bad since it looks soundtouch-related (if it's GStreamer related at
all).
