Since this "crash" is an abort triggered by a failed assert, there is no .crash generated. I have reproduced this with another song. Rhythmbox is version 0.11.2. I don't know what version gstreamer is.

Same problem here, what information can i submit to help diagnose the problem?

I found the original bug against the GStreamer Fluendo MP3 plug-in: https://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/trac/ticket/18

The solution is to remove that mp3 plug-in and use another, or upgrade to the 0.10.7 version of the plug-in which I compiled for Gutsy and attached to the referenced bug, or which is already included in Hardy.
