Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Rhythmbox works perfectly when invoked from the local X display of the system it's running on, and it plays and streams all the file types for which I have codecs. However, when I open it up in an X window on a remote display, it plays any local file, regardless of type, but it will stream only OGG files. Attempting to play an MP3 internet stream produces this error:
Couldn't start playback
Could not determine type of stream
I ran a GTK stack trace but got only ordinary thread reports. Rhythmbox does not crash on the error.
I can't tell if this is a Rhythmbox problem, something in gstreamer or some configuration weirdness in X11.
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10.
Rhythmbox is version 0.11.6svn200810
Gstreamer is version 0.10.21-4

do you get the same behavior with gst-launch playbin uri=file: ///path/ to/mp3 ?
