Hi
I have the following setup:
Server: Ubuntu 8.04 on a desktop with pulseaudio configured to allow network devices using local sinks. Client: Fedora rawhide (up-to-date) with pulseaudio configured to use the network sink on mentioned desktop. The gstreamer-plugins-ugly and gstreamer-plugins-bad for have also been installed from rpmfusion-rawhide.
Now, playing certain file formats such as MP3 fails to a network sink while they can be played fine locally. The totem give this error message when trying to play a MP3 file; "pa_stream_proplist_update() failed: Not supported". I have tried using VLC to play the file and it worked just fine. It seems this is a problem with gstreamer. I'm wondering if anyone know this is a known bug or have a solution to fix it?
Regards, Masood

Looks like the PA on the server is too old.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will upgrade the desktop soon and will let you know if it solves the problem.
