Bug Description

gstreamer: mp3s did not work in Yakkety Yak. It has worked in before (i.e. in Xenial Xerus), hence it is a regression.

To reproduct (old):

* Add a podcast URL of your choice to rhythmbox (try http://www.deutschlandfunk.de/podcast-nachrichten.1257.de.podcast.xml if unsure)
* Use the update button
* Click on the episode, download it (right mouse button - context menu)
* Try to hear (by double click or by adding it to the playback list)
* The error occurs:
  * Expected behaviour: The podcast is played.
  * Current behaviour: Nothing happens. Rhythmbox is unable to play the podcast.

To reproduce (new):

* Use gst-play-1.0 and try to play an mp3 file. Compare with playing an flac file. Also see attachments.

Seems to be rather a problem with GStreamer (1.8.3). Moving accordingly.

Trying to play an mp3 file with gst-play-1.0. This fails for unknown reasons (seems to play but no sound).
