Audio-CD extracting not possible

[Anna]

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (Xubuntu)
rhythmbox 3.3-1ubuntu7

It is not possible to extract Audio-CDs with Rhythmbox. When starting an Audio-CD extraction Rhythmbox prompts:

Error transferring track. Internal data flow error.

Starting Rhythmbox in a terminal, the command line tells:

(rhythmbox:2854): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_pad_link_full: assertion 'GST_IS_PAD (sinkpad)' failed.

I have this problem since Xubuntu 16.4. On Xubuntu 14.4. I didn't have this problem. On Xubuntu 14.4 I had a folder .gstreamer-0.10. There is no aequivalent hidden folder in /home/user. I reinstalled libsgstreamer0.10-0, but this didn't solve the problem. I only understand that sink means output. I have no idea.

It works with ogg Vorbis, but not with mp3 oder mp4 audio. ogg Opus don't know. Extracting now is running.

I meant gstreamer plugins, not rhythmbox plugins.

Run the following commands in terminal ( Terminal Emulator )

1. sudo bash ( enter your user password when prompted )
2. apt-get install gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

Now extract should work fine.
