Gstreamer DVB uri handler is broken

[Jami Pekkanen]

Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

When trying to use gstreamer to play DVB it fails complaining about missing uri handler for dvb:

% gst-launch-0.10 playbin "uri=dvb://MTV3"
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /playbin0: A DVB protocol source plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed.
Additional debug info:
gstplaybasebin.c(1668): gen_source_element (): /playbin0:
No URI handler for dvb
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
FREEING pipeline ...

However, the dvb plugin is there and at least dvbbasebin element claims to have the handler:

% gst-inspect dvbbasebin
...
URI handling capabilities:
  Element can act as source.
  Supported URI protocols:
    dvb
...

Relevant(?) versions:
Distribution: Intrepid
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.8-1
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.20-1
gstreamer-tools 0.10.20-3
libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.20-3

The bug is still here in Jaunty (and Karmic ATM).
I think it needs to be fixed before dropping totem-xine (the only way I have to watch dvb streams now).

I can confirm this in 9.10.

And still here in 12.04...

Actually mine was https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645467 - I would assume that this bug is actually the same issue.
