>From what I understand this is caused by the removal of ffmpeg, replaced
by libav (a fork) : http://askubuntu.com/questions/432542/is-ffmpeg-
missing-from-the-official-repositories-in-14-04

For gmusicbrowser, the problem is that is uses gstreamer 0.10 which uses
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg to decode mpc (and lossless m4a too, probably more)
which doesn't compile with libav, so it has been removed
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gallery-app/+bug/1254033) as
gstreamer 0.10 is deprecated in favor of 1.0

I've installed ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg via the ppa mentioned in
the askubuntu question above, and it does fix the playing of mpc and
lossless m4a in gmusicbrowser, the ppa also contains a vlc that plays
mpc. Of course it is not a proper fix
