Totem segfaults if I try to play an aac file. Installing gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins from pacman fixes the problem. Obviously I wouldn't expect it to play AAC without the plugin, but it should fail gracefully.

Steps to reproduce:
1. pacman -R gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
2. Try playing some .m4a in totem, exaile, etc, see it crash
3. pacman -S gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins
4. Try again, see it work.
This task depends upon

Seems like an upstream issue.

Is this fixed with recent updates? Half of the GStreamer stack has been updated in the meanwhile.

This looks fixed. I uninstalled the relevant packages, tried to play a .m4a and got a useful error message and no crash in totem.
