[Bug 1374841] Re: gstreamer crashes when opening WMA files
Is there any activity on solving this bug? As it stands, Ubuntu has a
regression that makes it incapable of playing one of the three most
common audio codecs.

Title:
gstreamer crashes when opening WMA files
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Totem, Rhythmbox and VLC all crash immediately upon trying to load any
WMA audio file. On the command line, Totem throws the following error:
(totem:7461): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_structure_new_empty: assertion 'gst_structure_validate_name (name)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Ubuntu release: 14.04
gstreamer version:
apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras
ubuntu-restricted-extras:
Installed: 60
Candidate: 60
Version table:
*** 60 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
What I expected to happen: The WMA audio files should play.
What happened instead: Every media player that uses gstreamer crashes
immediately upon trying to open a WMA audio file.
