Description of problem: Try to play this audio file via totem or gstreamer results in the error "Have text pad but no video pad". The audio file contains chapter marks and some additional comments. A workaround is to start gstreamer via commandline: "gst-launch playbin2 flags=0x03 uri=file:///home/thomas/mm042-bi-ba-buzzemann.m4a" The above audio file is freely available via "http://mobilemacs.de/2010/02/mm042-bi-ba-buzzemann.html" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : gstreamer Arch : i686 Version : 0.10.26 Release : 1.fc12 How reproducible: Always! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start above audio file in totem 2. Get the error message "Have text pad but no video pad" and no audio 3. Actual results: No audio is played Expected results: I want to hear my podcast! Additional info:
Oh, I may should mention, that I have the fluendo-codec pack installed. This is what their support told me: "This is a playbin2 bug in GStreamer. If you open a terminal and run this : gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/thomas/mm042-bi-ba-buzzemann.m4a It will give you the same error If you run that though it will work : gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 flags=0x03 uri=file:///home/thomas/mm042-bi-ba-buzzemann.m4a That's because the file contains a subtitles or text track (I suppose with some information about what is in the audio feed) and playbin2 believes they are subtitles that should be rendered on the video stream (hence the error message). You should open a ticket in GStreamer bugzilla for that. "

Yeah, fixed upstream. I'll close the bug when new packages are pushed.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
