Totem cannot stream MIDI files over HTTP

Binary package hint: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

Using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala:

When using Totem's Open Location... menu item to open one of the links at http://punk.mididb.com/clash/ Totem displays the error "An error occurred - Internal data flow error". The file does not play.

This is a result of Karmic's gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.14-4ubuntu1 package not supporting streaming MIDI files over HTTP, as can be seen by issuing the command:

$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=http://www.mididatabase.com/20091028/punk/clash/Rock_The_Casbah.mid

results in:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstSoupHTTPSrc:source: Internal data flow error.
Additional debug info:

ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.

If the file is downloaded and the following command is issued the file plays:

$ gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///tmp/Rock_The_Casbah.mid

According to comment 18 in bug #463102 there have been a number of changes to the midi plugin in gstreamer since 0.10.14 for MIDI support.

Currently the latest version of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is 0.10.16. The release notes are at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/gst-plugins-bad/0.10.16.html

Can we look into getting this latest version into Karmic-proposed?
