Comment 1 Ken Taylor 2012-10-04 18:29:53 UTC 
I too am trying out the live nightly build of the 64-bit Fedora 18 on a live usb (using 'Fedora-18-Nightly-20121003.08-x86_64-Live-desktop.iso') and have found exactly the same as you with the addition that it won't play my '.flac' music files either.

The version of Rhythmbox is also 2.97, rhythmbox-2.97-5.fc18 (64 bit)

I too get pop-ups asking asking to search for plugins when i try and play .flac or .ogg music files:

For .flac files it says:
"The following plugin is required:
Free lossless audio codec (FLAC) decoder
Do you want to search for this now?"

For .ogg files it says:  
"The following plugin is required:
Vorbis decoder
Do you want to search for this now?"

Whether I choose to search for the missing plugin or not the file is not played but they both play fine with 'Movie player' etc.....

Created attachment 621995 [details]
the terminal output from 'Ken Taylor'

I'd previously imported both a .flac and .ogg file of the same song into rythmbox, shut it down & started it again by typing "rhythmbox" in a terminal.

I tried playing:
.flac first then .ogg
.ogg first then .flac
.flac twice
.ogg twice. 

Each time:
~When you try and play the first song the dialogue pops up to ask if you want to search for a plug-in (but doesn't find one if you say yes).
~When you try and play the second song it crashes.

It makes no difference which order the songs are played in the result is always the same - the second song makes Rhythmbox crash.

I've attached the terminal output when i opened Rhythmbox and tried to play .flac then .ogg:
