Bug Description
Right-click on mp3/ogg file, select "Open With Rhythmbox Music Player." Application opens but does not play. Clicking on "Play" button produces window error message, "Couldn't start playback (null)." Clicking on "Play" button a second time produces a different window error message, "Couldn't start playback - Failed to create playbin2 element; check your GStreamer installation." Expected mp3 files to play normally as they did with Rhythmbox on 11.10 Oneiric prior to upgrade. Can still play these audio files ok with VLC media player.
