I'm sorry since I tend to think faster than I can type. I meant to mean stuck.

I can play mp3's with Quod Libet which uses gstreamer0.10, therefore I
assume that I got those ugly plugins (I'll verify). By the way, when I
fire up lsof, it tells me that trackerd has got the ogg files open,
and for minutes on end for each of such files, without tracker-extract
actually running. I haven't seen trackerd got stuck on mp3's.
