[SOLVED] xfburn refuses flac and mp3 despite presence of plugins

I am trying to burn an audio cd with xfburn. Packages gstreamer and gst-plugins-good, -bad and -ugly are installed. Xfburn says it's using gstreamer.
Yet when I specify flac files to burn in xfburn UI, it complains I have no decoder installed. Same result with mp3 files.

Does anyone have relevant info as to xfburn configuration, or a link to any substantial documentation for xfburn? Thank you!

I've never used xfburn, but one thing I noticed is that this package has a dependency of gstreamer0.10-base, but the plugins you list above: gst-plugins-good (-bad and -ugly) are for gstreamer 1.0.  Have you tried with the 0.10 plugins?  You can grab them all with the package group gstreamer0.10-plugins.  It is the only thing I can see.

[edit] - fixed spelling error

Yes, that was it. I uninstalled gstreamer 1.0 and installed the gstreamer0.10-plugins group, and xfburn accepts mp3 and flac files.

Thank you!
