Bug Description

In 13.04, when trying to play any midi in the default payer, Rythumbox, or Banshee, the playing fails. In two of the players I get the error message:
Invalid Commandline
The parameters passed to the application had an invalid format. Please file a bug!

The parameters were:
-transient-for=85983243
gstreamer|1.0|totem|audio/midi decoder|decoder-audio/midi

I see the report says it is an alpha release. I installed 13.04 from the Beta 2 Ubuntu download.

At first I didn't notice it was just midi files; I was trying to play an mp3 but my queue had a midi at the top entry, and sure enough it is a midi / gstreamer issue. I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on release day, upgrading from 12.10 using standard procedure.
