Ok, I'll try to remove one, and if it still doesn't work, I'll reinstall 
it and remove the other one, and report you back.

I know, I have some devel packages installed because I usually build 
banshee from trunk for developing purposes.

Yesterday when researching about the issue, I tried to install them and 
it still didn't work (also tried to install them after removing the ugly 
plugin, in case they couldn't co-exist, and it still didn't work).

I'll try wav files and report back.

Mmm, but some of them are updates, not new packages, so how can I 
rollback to older versions in order not to remove them completely?

I'll try that.

That sounds scary.
