Title:
  Playing of mms radio streams fails with gstreamer based player due to
  failure to buffer

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently all gstreamer based player will fail on mms/mmsh internet
  radio streams because of a hang in buffering the stream. In most cases
  the codec is wma2 which is supported thru the various plugins.

  In  12.04 Alpha this worked fine, just tested from live session

  Test Case:
  install the gst ffmpeg; bad & ugly plugins to cover all bases
  Attempt to play a mms or mmsh stream in any gstreamer based media player, Totem, Banshee, Ryhthmbox, Clementine, ect.
  All will hang on the buffering 

  A bbc radio address is attached as a .m3u for convenience, mms/wma2
  The .m3u can be opened directly in Totem
  For ryhthmbox you can r. click on > open in RB, will then be available under radio tab > unknown. All other players the radio station can be added by copying the url from the .m3u, open it in a text editor to retrieve
