Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

After normal upgrade, rhythmbox reports a Gstreamer plugin is missing when playing any audio file.

      * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Tried using gst-launch directly:

aperrin at theodor:~$ gst-launch-1.0 -v playbin uri= file:///home/aperrin/music/Adele_02_Rumour%20Has%20It.mp3
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...

** (gst-launch-1.0:30067): WARNING **: can't find typefind element, decodebin will not work
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: ring-buffer-max-size = 0
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: buffer-size = -1
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: buffer-duration = -1
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: use-buffering = false
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: download = false
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: uri = file:///home/aperrin/music/Adele_02_Rumour%20Has%20It.mp3
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: connection-speed = 0
/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: source = "\(GstGioSrc\)\ source"
ERROR: from element /GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0: Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in.

No audio plays.
