Description of problem: exaile cannot seek through simple PCM .wav files, and nor does the progress bar grow or show a change of time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): exaile-0.2.14-3.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to play a .wav file in exaile.
Changing to gstreamer, rhythmbox is also somewhat confused by .wav files, although in its case it will seek and shows increasing time --- but the time display gets reset to zero during seeks.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gstreamer-0.10.24-1.fc11.x86_64 rhythmbox-0.12.3-1.fc11.x86_64
Does Totem seek through those files properly? Try with the latest gstreamer, gstreamer-plugins-base and gstreamer-plugins-good.
OK, I've upgraded to gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.16-1.fc11.x86_64; all the others are the latest on Koji. Totem seems to be behaving properly. So I guess this could be two separate bugs in the ways rhythmbox and exaile are using the gstreamer API.
Still present with: gstreamer-0.10.25-1.fc12.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.25-1.fc12.i686 rhythmbox-0.12.5-7.fc12.x86_64 exaile-0.3.0.1-1.fc12.noarch gstreamer-python-0.10.16-1.fc12.x86_64
You don't mention the version of gstreamer-plugins-good, which is far more important than the version of gstreamer-python. If the problem still happens in Rhythmbox and/or Exaile with the updated plugins, file bugs against those players. Given that Totem handles it properly, this is unlikely to be a GStreamer problem. Closing this.
