Package: soundconverter Version: 3.0.0~alpha1+git20151209-1 Severity: normal
soundconverter -b -m "audio/mpeg" -s ".mp3" stopped working for me, saying: "lamemp3enc" gstreamer element not found, disabling MP3 output. The problem turned out to be that although I had gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed (as the instructions on http://soundconverter.org/gstreamer-mp3-encoding-howto/ , pointed to by the link in soundconverter's Preferences window, recommend) what it actually needs now is gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly. The instructions also say to add the deb-multimedia repository to apt sources; but even after I did that, apt-cache policy gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly says it's coming from 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing/main i386 Packages and doesn't say anything about deb-multimedia. So I think that part must be wrong too. I know the page is part of the upstream project, but I'm hesitant to be the one to tell them to change it in case there are other versions of Debian for which it's right. Maybe they need to specify different instructions for different Debian versions? -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages soundconverter depends on: ii gir1.2-gconf-2.0 3.2.6-3 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.50.0-1 ii gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 1.8.3-1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.22.1-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.8.3-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.8.3-1+b1 ii python3-gi 3.22.0-1 pn python3:any <none> Versions of packages soundconverter recommends: ii gir1.2-notify-0.7 0.7.6-2 pn gstreamer1.0-libav <none> Versions of packages soundconverter suggests: pn gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly <none> -- no debconf information
