So the Gnome and the Parole player share "something", that VLC doesn't use, and that "something" is the culprit?

I hope wally (parole maintainer) or the Gnome maintainers can help identify what it is.

Probably missing gstreamer audio codec, but can't do much without sample file. Matroska .mkv file is container supporting basically any available audio codec.

tried a different source for the .mkv file and plays ok for both players
