This is a shame! Windows apps do gapless playback for ten years now, and
still "the" framework that is supposed to be the model implementation
miserably fails at playing gapless audio. Please, fix it *now*. This may
be well be one of the reasons why people prefer windows over linux. Any
modern operationg system *must* play music as the user expects it to.
GStreamer does not. This will drive users into the arms of microsoft. Is
this what you want?

Title:
  gapless playback does not work in any gstreamer application

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

Bug description:
  After installing ubuntu 11.04 I installed rhythmbox (configuration
  files from version 10.10) and found a nasty flaw - to play without
  pauses between tracks no longer works. It's not very nice drawback,
  especially for live performances. I use the files in Flac.
