Do other media players have issues with your file? If so, it might be a problem with the file. If not, you might get more helpful output if you try to open that file in a terminal.

Confirming, at least for *Totem* on fresh Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 5 installs.

In Ubuntu versions pre-Karmic, opening an MP3 file with Totem opened the plugin search dialog; in Ubuntu Karmic, this rather cryptic error appears instead.

Rhythmbox properly handles this with a plugin search. After installing the GStreamer plugins for audio/mp3, the cryptic error disappears from Totem.

Now if I could figure out how to assign this bug to Totem-Ubuntu...

For the record, *any* MP3 file triggers this error, even MP3 files made with LAME (which are thus "known good").

Testing for this bug could be done with the files at <http://www.archive.org/details/xoc_SMW>, which are also known good; they are under a Creative Commons license, too.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GStreamer is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance

In the Lucid LiveCD it's not reproducible anymore.
