Problems playing AAC in Rhythmbox (now just problems with Gstreamer)

Alright, so until recently (with the exception of GTK+ V2 fighting with V3 on Xfce) I've had no problems with Rhythmbox playing any of my audio files. I have all the gstreamer plugins installed and up to date, however recently I lost my ability to play AAC files and am now getting this in the terminal when I try to play any aac files:

[lyudess@Michelle ~]$ rhythmbox

(rhythmbox:8744): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to start mDNS browsing: MDNS service is not running

(rhythmbox:8744): libdmapsharing-WARNING **: Unable to initialize mDNS: Daemon not running

(rhythmbox:8744): libdmapsharing-WARNING **: Unable to notify network of media sharing: The avahi MDNS service is not running
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)

(rhythmbox:8744): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files
Rhythmbox-Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|rhythmbox|Quicktime demuxer|decoder-video/quicktime, variant=(string)iso
Rhythmbox-Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper script missing)

This happens with all m4a files. I never got this problem before, so I suspect it might be caused from an update.
A search of the installed packages I have that are gstreamer related returns this:

[lyudess@Michelle ~]$ yaourt -Qqs gstreamer
gstreamer0.10
gstreamer0.10-bad
gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
gstreamer0.10-base
gstreamer0.10-base-plugins
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
gstreamer0.10-good
gstreamer0.10-good-plugins
gstreamer0.10-python
gstreamer0.10-ugly
gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins

As it is, my system is completely up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

Gave up on rhythmbox because I found banshee. But I can't play anything in Banshee now, I'm getting this:
