Dear gstreamer maintainers,

both rhythmbox and totem-gstreamer fail to play my .aac files. 
- Rhythmbox loads the files into the playlist but shows wrong duration
times (< 20 sec). It fails to play them and shows a
red-circle-with-white-bar icon instead. Sometimes it even crashes when I
try to close the window.
- Totem-gstreamer only shows the goom plugin, which does actually
display some rhythm, but it does not play any music! During 'playback'
the duration time changes constantly.

I created the files by recording a radion station (The EDGE ROCKS! [1])
with streamripper (1.63-beta-1-1). The 'file' command shows obviously
wrong information for these files, e.g.:

        $ file Machine\ Head\ -\ Davidian.aac 
        Machine Head - Davidian.aac: Audio file with ID3 version 23.0
        tag, MP3 encoding

The files play fine with totem-xine, though.

FWIW, I also tried to play them with the unofficial
gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad package from the debian-multimedia.org
repository but it did not help either.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Fabian
