The steps to duplicate the problem are:

1) Install Rhythmbox from the software center
2) Open Rhythmbox
3) Go to edit/preferences and select the "music" tab
4) Notice the drop down box for the preferred format appears to be missing FLAC
5) Select this empty space and try to rip a CD
6) Get error message about "no suitable encoding profiles" as stated in the original report by Jens.

Here's an excerpt from my log. When selecting the blank spot on the drop
down menu, which should be FLAC, the log does state "can encode
audio/x-flac".

Directly above it however, when looking for the profile it says "trying
to check profile (null) for missing plugins" and "got request pad,
profile (null) works".

Compare this to selecting Ogg Vorbis, where it states "trying to check
profile oggvorbis for missing plugins" and "got request pad, profile
oggvorbis works".

It seems to me the issue is this missing profile... it shouldn't be
saying "profile (null)". So how do we get the proper profile installed?

Title:
  Rhythmbox CD ripping to FLAC broken in Oneiric

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading my Ubuntu to Oneiric, I can't seem to rip CDs to FLAC
  any longer with rhythmbox.

  - The preferences don't list FLAC/Lossless any longer (there's an empty entry, and if I select that, the example file name above changes to .flac - but that's it).
  - When I try to rip a CD with the above setting to the empty entry, I get the following error:
  "This file cannot be transferred as it is not in a format supported by the target device and no suitable encoding profiles are available."

  The "target device" in question is still an SMB share, as it was under
  Natty. I suspect there's rather some library missing, but everything
  (flac, liblfac8, etc.) seems to be installed, and gst-inspect-0.10
  seems to find flac-related stuff, too.

  Any ideas what's missing?
