I have filed a similar bug report. See Bug Report 250407 -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst- plugins-ugly-multiverse0.10/+bug/250407
gstreamer is not properly encoding MP3's with the right VBR bit rates (corresponding to the options specified). The problem is NOT with gst-plugins-bad. but in the gstreamer0.10 -plugins-ugly-multiverse package. The culprit is version 0.10.6 of the gstreamer library file libgstlame.so found in the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse package. If you downgrade this library to 0.10.5, the problem is fixed. To downgrade to a working version (0.10.5) simply downgrade the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse package from version 0.10.6-0ubuntu1 to version 0.10.5-2. Once you downgrade, gstreamer works properly and produces MP3's with the right bit rate. See See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608034&page=3 Also note that this bug has been reported upstream. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=498004 But the bug still has not been fixed!! Maybe someone at Ubuntu will need to propose a patch to the Gnome folks. PLEASE increase the URGENCY from low to MEDIUM or HIGH. This bug affects Sound Juicer and Rythmbox which now FAIL to encode MP3's with the proper VBR bit rate using the DEFAULT settings provided by Ubuntu Hardy Heron!! -- gstreamer lame mp3 encoder produced different files than lame commandline encoder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235062 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
