Unfortunate incompatibility between sound-juicer and rhythmbox in sarge

[Reuben Thomas]

In sarge, sound-juicer cannot encode to MP3, but rhythmbox can only play 
MP3 (it fails with ogg, flac or WAV files, the formats supported by 
sound-juicer).

There isn't an obvious place to file a bug about this (indeed, it's not 
even really a bug from a package point of view, except that sound-juicer 
can be run by a menu item in rhythmbox).

I'm currently using up-to-date versions of the two programs built from 
source to get around these problems, but it would be nice to fix this 
somehow before sarge goes out. Of course, if the gstreamer0.8 plugins get 
into sarge, so will newer versions of rhythmbox and sound-juicer, I guess, 
and the problem is solved.

Anyway, sorry if this is just noise, but it seemed this might be a 
situation that no-one was aware of, given the split maintainership of 
sound-juicer and rhythmbox.
