Bug Description

I've upgraded to edgy and now sound-juicer has no sound profiles. Making the user have to input a gstreamer pipeline is awful.

Is this really not a priority for edgy? It makes sound-juicer pretty much useless.

nobody else reported a such issue, that's probably an user config issue, profiles work fine after upgrade for me

I haven't touched any gnome-media config that I'm aware. I have a test user that has a standard config and the same thing happens with it. Maybe it was my upgrade to edgy a while back that didn't work properly. Any ideas on what I should do to fix this?

Seems like the standard profiles are there. That OGG one was added by me to see if it would be added. If I edit the profiles in sound-juicer that's the only one shown.

do you have the same issue if you run gnome-audio-profiles-properties
from a command line? Is there any error printed?

Same result and no error.

and what is the value of the /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/global/profile_list gconf key?

$ gconftool -g /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/global/profile_list
[OGG]

Seems like this is the problem. Any idea what happened?

not really. Did you create that OGG profile? Did you use applications
not part of default installation that could have changed the profiles
for your user?

OGG was created by me. Before that the list was empty. I didn't use any application that I can remember. This happened when I upgraded. How do I fix it? Any way besides editing gconf?

to fix it, go to /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/global/profile_list, right click and pick "unset key", it'll send it back to the default value. Then you can add the "OGG" entry back if you want

no problem, did you use any program that could have removed those items
from the list? or changed it yourself from the media profiles editor?

As far as I know this really was a bug with the edgy upgrade. I didn't use the editor. I installed jokosher and pitivi. I also installed rhythmbox and banshee but I think those were after this problem. Maybe one of those did something. I have no idea.

packages upgrade are not likely to change the user configuration. A software probably did that. It might be due to jokosher or pitivi. I doubt that's a gnome-media upgrade issue, figuring what software did change the profiles list would be useful
