Bug#454599: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad: Does STILL not play VCD

[Carlo Wood]

Hi... it's 2 months later now, and I think that upstream
update has been there - but I still can't play this bin/cue.

mplayer doesn't work at all, it aborts with:

  Too many audio packets in the buffer: (3681 in 8388999 bytes).
  Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?

That was the same error as before.

And totem now shows a still image that appears to be a
DVD menu (showing that the disk contains two episodes),
but I can't do anything with it. If I try to skip forwards,
it just starts at the beginning, and if I right click to
get a menu, there are no other options. It's impossible
to chose one of the two episodes or otherwise start the
real movie.
