@Trey Ethridge: Can you confirm that this is an Ubuntu specific bug?

For me (Ubuntu 10.04) it works when there is no proxy and when the proxy doesn't need authentication.

For example, with the youtube plugin, I get this message when I try to play a video:

gstsouphttpsrc.c(1096): gst_soup_http_src_parse_status (): /GstPlayBin2:play/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1/GstSoupHTTPSrc:source:
407 Proxy Authentication Required

As stated in the upstream bug report (3 years ago!), it seems to depend on the gstreamer plugin in use, because I get this other error message when trying to play an mms:// (this also work fine without authentication)

** Message: Error: Could not open resource for reading and writing.
