Mike Smith:

I reinstalled gstreamer-python, and then:

[knelson@gypsy Songbird]$ export LD_BIND_NOW=1
[knelson@gypsy Songbird]$ ./songbird

After which Songbird came up, and worked fine..</module>

Hey Ken,

If you remove the gstreamer-python package, are you able to start Songbird with 1.2?

If so, I filled a bug to track that problem.

To track the comments on this work item:

1. Go to the "people" box in the upper right hand corner of bug # 17082;

2. Add your email in the "add cc" box;

3. Scroll down and hit commit.

If you don't have a free bugzilla account, signing up is quick and easy and will allow you to share your feedback directly with the development team.

Keep in mind, since the SB team has limited resources and only tests on Ubuntu currently, there might be little traction for a fix soon.

Michael:
Removing the gstreamer-python package worked. It took out rhythmbox as well, but Songbird now functions. And Songbird is of more utility to me than rhythmbox.

Thanks!

OK, I rolled Songbird back to 1.1.2, and the previously mentioned afflictions are gone.

While it's great to hear music again, I'll follow this bug until there is a resolution.

One more item:
gstreamer-python was updated yesterday. Songbird functioned after this update as well. Package info on gstreamer-python:
gstreamer-python-0.10.15-1.fc11.i586
