Bug#373154: rhythmbox: bitrate of MP3 files always "Unknown"

Hi --

I'm afraid the problem is still persisting even with the latest
gstreamer and rhythmbox packages from sid (the complete list of
installed versions follows at the end of this message). I recursively
removed ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox and ran 'gconftool-2 --recursive-unset
/apps/rhythmbox' to remove my existing preferences before testing.

I've attached a test file, encoded from a WAV file, decoded from the
FLAC file for "Song for the Two Mile Linear Particle Accelerator",
available at: http://www.archive.org/details/moam2000-11-01.flac16 (I
hope I have taken sufficient care to find freely redistributable test
content; if not, I apologize).

moam2000-11-01d1t03-V6.mp3 was encoded using 'lame -V6 infile.wav',
using version 3.97-0.0 from the LAME package at debian-multimedia.org.
On my system, the file displays with 'Unknown' in the Quality field
after being added to the rhythmbox library.

The properties window for the file in nautilus identifies it as MPEG 1
Layer 3 VBR at 132kbps. This is consistent with the output from LAME
after encoding.

If there's anything else I can do, please let me know.
