Create a container (either lxc or lxd), install rhythmbox. Load some kind of audio file (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Rondo_Alla_Turka.ogg), play it in Rhythmbox. No luck.

I was able to make it work by installing the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' metapackage in the container. I'm not sure exactly which package(s) in that make(s) it work, but...

I'm able to fix this by installing `gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad`, which is listed as a dependency but somehow not installed?

turns out `gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad` is a Suggests in rhythmbox, but upon further inspection is not installed on my host system which runs rhythmbox with sound just fine. :(

Turns out I have no idea why this is happening. Installing all of the dependencies of `gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad` without the package itself does not result in sound. Only installing the bad plugins package fixes sound. However, this package is not required to make rhythmbox play sound on my host machine.

I'm not sure if this is a rhythmbox problem or a libertine problem, but I think it should probably be marked as Wontfix. We might want to add a configure option for installing ubuntu-restricted-extras easily, or we could automatically install Suggests.
