Bug Description
[Impact]
The developer of soundconverter, Gautier (kassoulet), created a branch with highly recommended fixes for soundconverter 2.0.4, which fixes some annoying bugs, one of which is the inability to convert videos to audio, because every time you launch the conversion it looks for a gstreamer plugin it can't find and abort the conversion leaving an empty file in the destination dir (#1308187)
[Test Case]
Open soundconverter
Add a video (I tried with an mp4 with h264+aac codecs) to the conversion queue
Press the "Convert" button
A window appears where it looks for an h264 decoder (while I already have it installed on my system)
After some seconds it tells you he couldn't find any decoder for the job
The conversion is aborted and you will find an empty file in the destination folder (by default the same of the input one) with the same name of the input file and the extension changed
[Regression Potential]
I managed to build the patched version, the bugs are fixed and I didn't find any noticeable regression.
[Other Info]
I managed to make the debdiff, but since I feel insecure with build & packaging stuff, I'd prefer someone else to make it (maybe someone from Ubuntu Developers Team)
