I'm having the same problem with rhythmbox. Everytime I launch it says codecs are needed to play back some file, but upon launching gnome-codec-install, it says there is no suitable plugin available.

Rythmbox terminal output as follows:
Rhythmbox-Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|rhythmbox-metadata|MPEG-4 AAC decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)4, framed=(boolean)true (ignoring)
Rhythmbox-Message: All missing plugins are blacklisted, doing nothing

This is pretty annoying, though as original reporter noted, installing gstreamer-0.10-plugins-bad manually fixes the problem.

Bug seen in hardy, rhythmbox-0.11.4-0ubuntu6, gnome-app-install-0.5.2.4-0ubuntu1.
