GStreamer plugins that Totem searches for to play an MP3 file do not actually allow Totem to play MP3

[aysiu]

In older versions of Ubuntu, if you double-click on an MP3 file after a fresh install, Totem will attempt to play the MP3 file, prompt you that it needs to search for suitable plugins, find the plugins, install the plugins, and then actually play the file.

In a fresh install of Karmic, if you double-click the MP3 file, Totem will attempt to play the MP3 file, prompt you that it needs to search for suitable plugins, appear to install the plugins, and then tell you it can't play the file.
