Bug#489170: totem-gstreamer: fails to play second (or subsequent) song in playlist of midi files

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: totem-gstreamer
Version: 2.22.2-3
Severity: normal

totem-gstreamer will fail to play the second (or subsequent) midi file
in a playlist.  it will play the first midi file just fine.  note that
totem-xine doesn't support midi playback at all, so this bug can't be
reproduced or tested there.

to reproduce with totem-gstreamer, download a few midi files from
www.mididb.org, and start totem with

$ totem *.mid

the first song will play, then when it gets to the second song, you will
get the following error in the terminal:

  libWildMidi(WildMidi_Init:3707): ERROR Library not Initialized
  ** Message: don't know how to handle audio/midi
  ** Message: Error: A audio/midi decoder plugin is required to play this stream, but not installed.
  gstdecodebin.c(845): close_pad_link (): /play/decodebin1:
  No decoder to handle media type 'audio/midi'

  ** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|audio/midi decoder|decoder-audio/midi (audio/midi decoder)
  ** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper script missing)

this message says that the codec is missing, which is obviously wrong since 
it was able to play the first midi file just fine.  maybe the midi
library getting locked on the playback of the first file and not
unlocked for subsequent files.

thanks for the hard work.
