The playback of this movie requires a A-Law decoder plugin which is not installed.

Hi there,

  I am trying to read a wav file using totem. However it fails with
the following:

$ totem bla.wav
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-alaw, rate=(int)8000,
channels=(int)1
** Message: Error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this
file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
gstplaybasebin.c(2327): prepare_output (): /GstPlayBin:play

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|A-Law
decoder|decoder-audio/x-alaw (A-Law decoder)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper
script missing)

I have not been able to find what to install to get this "A-Law" codec.

Any hints ?

Thanks
