> The gstreamer framework does play mp3 files per the following cmd: > [koz@largo ~]$ gst-launch playbin2 > uri=file:///home/koz/media/mp3/the_band/The_Last_Waltz/Ophelia.mp3 There isn't "a" GStreamer framework, there's 2 versions, 0.10, and 1.0. They're incompatible. You just ran the version for GStreamer 0.10 which probably has a working MP3 plugin. Trying "gst-launch-1.0 playbin2 ..." Finally, I don't think that Fluendo has released any 1.0 version of their MP3 plugin, though I could be wrong.
