Mint version: Mint 14 MATE 64-bit

The 32-bit versions of the gstreamer plugins conflict with their 64-bit equivalents. Not all of them do however:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-base:i386
Works

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:i386
Works

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386
> The following packages have unmet dependencies:

This means that 32-bit applications can't use any of the media plugins in those packages. This includes especially mp3 playback.
