rhythmbox error

[Joe Klemmer]

	Just for kicks I wanted to try out Rhythmbox.  Unfortunately whenever I
try to play anything I get a pop-up error message saying, "Failed to
create mad element; check your installation".  OC, it doesn't tell me
what needs to be checked in my installation.  Anyone have any ideas?

It will play ogg format files OK as it is. To play mp3s you need to
install gstreamer-plugins-mp3, which you can get from freshrpms.net

Guess I'll have to manually get it.  Hopefully it doesn't have all that
alsa stuff compiled in it.

According to http://yarrow.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=360 the package
should be there. At rpm.livna.org, one is in the queue, bug #52.

	It was on freshrpms but I guess the header wasn't there yet for yum.

	Manually downloading and installing got it loaded.  However, now
rhythmbox just locks up the entire desktop.  An error popped up but
unfortunately it's underneath another window.

The error message is lame. "mad" refers to the "MAD" mp3 codec
software,
which rhythmbox takes from the gstreamer-plugins-mp3 package. That package
could be made a dependency, but then would force people to install mp3.
Not a good idea. mp3 should stay optional.
