Bug Description
Binary package hint: soundconverter
I wanted to extract the audio of a mpg video and thus wanted SoundConverter to convert it to mp3.
The progress starts, there is no error output or warning messages, but the progress never proceeds, i.e. the “estimated time remaining” increases without the job getting done at all.
The same problem is described here: http://
The suggested workaround is to use ffmpeg or mplayer to do the task.
Totem plays the input file just fine.

There is an undocumented --debug switch, that shows the launched pipeline: "file:/ //….mpg" name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audioconvert ! lame quality=2 vbr=4 vbr-quality=3 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux ! giosink location= file:// /….mp3
giosrc location=
Which (as gst-launch -v reveals) causes the hanging then.
So the bug seems rather to be in gstreamer’s decoder? (unless the pipeline should be different)
