Thanks for the report. I'm unable to reproduce the issue with Oneiric,
may you please try to reproduce it with that version and comment back?
Thanks again.

Title:
Rhythmbox delivers a misleading error message on encountering a
corrupted ogg.
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
In my ~/Music folder I have a corrupted copy of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:I.S.Bach-BWV578.ogg
Naturally, Rhythmbox will often stop playing this file when in reaches
the corrupt data (though exactly where it stops and if it stops is
inconsistent). The problem is that twice it has given the following
message after choking on the file:
"Search for suitable plugin?
The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to
install suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a
plugin that supports the selected file?
The search will also include software which is not officially
supported."
This occurs on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS with Rhythmbox 0.12.8-0ubuntu7
Expected results: Upon encountering corrupt data, Rhythmbox should
display an appropriate error message indicating that the file type is
supported by the installed plugins but the file seems to be corrupt
and needs to be redownloaded.
Actual results: Either no error message is displayed and playback
stops (acceptable but suboptimal, and happens most of the time), or
playback stops and a misleading error message is displayed indicating
that a new plugin is required to read the file (this has happened
twice), despite the fact that the file has already been read
successfully up to the point where it is corrupted (which presumably
involves determining that the file type is supported by the current
plugins).
