launch:
sudo apt-get install gstreamer-tools
gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///home/joe/my-random-media-file.mpeg

Cannot play mp3 or ogg files in Rhythmbox after upgrade to 64-bit
12.04 Precise
Status in OEM Priority Project:
New
Status in OEM Priority Project precise series:
New
Status in OEM Priority Project quantal series:
New
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Right-click on mp3/ogg file, select "Open With Rhythmbox Music
Player." Application opens but does not play. Clicking on "Play"
button produces window error message, "Couldn't start playback
(null)." Clicking on "Play" button a second time produces a different
window error message, "Couldn't start playback - Failed to create
playbin2 element; check your GStreamer installation." Expected mp3
files to play normally as they did with Rhythmbox on 11.10 Oneiric
prior to upgrade. Can still play these audio files ok with VLC media
player.
