[SOLVED] Rhythmbox won't play FLAC, wma and m4a files

The errors it gives:

For m4a:

Additional GStreamer plugins are required to play this file: MPEG-4 AAC decoder

For FLAC:

The MIME type of this file could not be identified

For wma:

Additional GStreamer plugins are required to play this file: Windows Media Audio 8 decoder

My gstreamer packages installed:

$yaourt -Qs gstreamer
==> Query installed packages
extra/gstreamer0.10-bad 0.10.19-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Bad Plugin libraries (gst-plugins-bad)

Thanks, kradle

UPDATE:
After installing gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg wma files and FLAC files seem to play fine (but I think the FLAC files I tried to play before were just damaged and that this is irrelevant)
Only m4a does not work now

UPDATE:
m4a after installing gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins.
At first I did not manage to do this because I had ffmpeg-svn installed, so I installed ffmpeg and removed ffmpeg-svn, installed libvpx and removed libvpx-git and not it works perfectly.
