Linux - CentOS 7 to be specific, but my own build of gstreamer replacing
stock - version 1.6.2 is what I am currently running (I update few times every year) mp3 via html5 in FireFox works when I have the libmad plugin so I know firefox is handing that off to gstreamer, but it stopped working with tumblr. When I looked at what Tumblr is doing, they are using "audio/mp3" as the type attribute on the audio source node, which is incorrect. However FireFox on Windows seems to not care, so I think the issue is that FireFox on Linux is asking GStreamer if it can handle "audio/mp3" and is being told no. Is there a way within gstreamer to make "audio/mp3" be an alias for "audio/mpeg;codecs=mp3" (or just "audio/mpeg") to solve this issue? Obviously Tumblr should fix their broken code but I have never, not once, gotten any kind of response from them on any bugs I reported. They seem to develop within their own closed world. I'm guessing this would require a patch to GStreamer itself, hence why this list.

I am not core GStreamer dev, but I don't think GStreamer should accept such workarounds.
