Clementine: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin"

I'm trying to listen to music saved on my hard drive, using the Clementine media player.

However, when I click on a music track it doesn't play and a notification pops up with the message "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin"

So, I had a look under 'Packages' in the SliTaz panel, and found the following plugins have already been installed as well as the ffmpeg package itself:

- gst-ffmpeg-small

- gst-plugins-base

- gst-plugins-good

- libao

Which other ones am I missing?

Many thanks in advance for any help with this  - it'll be good to listen to my music again ...

A few more details about the problem I have with Clementine media player:

- the music files that don't play are in *.wma format

- the downloaded podcasts do play, and are in *.mp3 format

Remove gst-ffmpeg-small,it's not compiled to decode wma.

[c]tazpkg remove gst-ffmpeg-small[/c]

[c]The following packages depend on package "gst-ffmpeg-small":[/c]

[c]midori-video[/c]

[c]Remove package "gst-ffmpeg-small" (0.10.13)? (y/N)[/c]

Choose y for yes to remove.

Install gst-plugins-full meta-package:

[c]tazpkg -gi gst-plugins-full[/c]

Verify gst-ffmpeg is installed which is compiled to decode wma:

[c]tazpkg depends gst-plugins-full | grep gst[/c]

[c]gstreamer (1.9M)[/c]

[c]gst-plugins-base (3.2M)[/c]

[c]gst-plugins-good (2.7M)[/c]

[c]gst-plugins-good-extra (1.4M)[/c]

[c]gst-plugins-bad (4.3M)[/c]

[c]gst-plugins-ugly (796K)[/c]

[c]gst-ffmpeg (7.7M)[/c]

Many thanks mojo for your help - much appreciated !

I followed your instructions and now have audio for both *.wma and *.mp3 files.
