           Summary: gstreamer audio playback does not work correctly with
                    OGG audio files with an offset
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good

Some time ago I ripped a lot of music off some internet radio stations using
banshee-streamripper. The created OGG files worked like normal OGG files but
there file length was usually displayed as 2 hours or more. Fortunately all
media players I used always started playback at the right position.
Example:
If a 5 minute track was displayed as being 2 hours long, all player would start
playback at 1:55:00
While this was kind of strange it did not cause any problems so I just ignored
it.

Recently I have upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu, now all "mislengthend"
tracks will only play a few seconds or less before the playback silences and I
can enjoy the wonderful silence of the whole initial offset (Note that the
media player will count my position within the song normally but from 0:00:00
instead of whatever offset the song had)

If anybody could either restore the old behaviour or tell me how to strip this
"initial gap" from my files, I'd be very thankful.
