Public bug reported:

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.
