Apologies for the long post - much information included…
Yesterday I ran mmcheck and followed its advice by
- installing gstreamer-plugins-good-extra
- upgrading ffmpeg and associated libraries
Now gstreamer is broken. It will not work with banshee 2.0.1 or rhythmbox, reporting missing codecs, in particular missing gstreamer-audioconvert.
The zypper log of the changes made to the gstreamer and ffmpeg packages follows :

gst-inspect reports problems with a number of plugins and blacklists 12. Some of the problems seem to be with liborc which I believe has problems and I have tried to upgrade to v 4.13 from Packman but the package appears empty - Yast reports liborc properly installed but from the gst-inspect dump it appears to have problems

Anyhow at the end of all that gstreamer doesn’t play anything (MP3s or MP4As).
Apologies for the long post but I wanted to include all relevant information. Can anyone help?
Do I need to reinstall some of the gstreamer packages, or do I need to upgrade liborc (where from?) or is there something else going on which I haven’t yet fathomed?
Thanks for your help
