[SOLVED] Gstreamer issues

Hallo everyone.

Ever since yesterday morning, Guayadeque and Soundconverter won't play any of my mp3s, flacs or even oggs. I have reinstalled the above programs plus gstreamer, but the problem remains. Guayadeque fails by saying

05:22:35 μμ: Error: ee: Failed load of file 'file:///home/nikos/Ἡ μουσική μου/Ὀρθολογιστὲς - Μιὰ νύχτα μετὰ τὴν τελευταία μέρα/15. Ὀρθολογιστὲς - Μιὰ νύχτα μετὰ τὴν τελευταία μέρα (remix).mp3'

soundcoverter by

error: Could not determine type of stream. (01. Manowar - Manowar.mp3)
Queue done in 0.019s (1 tasks)

The pacman updates yesterday (I'm not using testing) were (pacman.log)

I am using proper Alsa, no Pulseaudio.

I made sure my user remains in audio group, though it's not necessary, since flash and mplayer play sound properly.

Any help?

Re: [SOLVED] Gstreamer issues

Solved. It seems all I needed to do after reinstalling gstreamer was to delete my old ~/.gstreamer-0.10 directory. I still don't know where the problem came from, but, oh well. It's fixed.
