Unsolved Qt 5.6.1 from online installer and GStreamer on (K)Ubuntu 16.10 - MediaPlayer sound issue

[Larpon]

Hi all,

I seem to always hit sound issues on Linux when upgrading distributions - no news there I guess :D

However this time the problem seems a bit more Qt specific. I'm using Qt 5.6.1 from the online installers. And sound has worked on Kubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 so far.

I'm using the MediaPlayer QML component imported from QtMultimedia 5.4 to play back an mp3 file.

But I'm getting this error:

GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_ref_sink: assertion 'GST_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

This is what I can find of gstreamer related packages installed:

dpkg -l | grep gstreamer

How can I get the mp3 to play again?
