Ya, sorry about that. What I meant to say was soundconverter wouldn't
even load the AIFFs.  That is, I could see the files if I changed the
filter to "ALL" when looking for files to open, but after selecting the
file, I couldn't see it in the soundconverter main window.  I had
nothing to convert!

You've gone way above what I was hoping for.  Just let me say I
appreciate very much the time you took to look into my AIFF problem.

I gave Totem a go (don't know why I didn't earlier).  Not only did it
play the AIFFs, but it also read the metadata!  The embedded album art,
the song title, artists etc. were all available.

I'm going to guess totem didn't work for you and did for me because I
have a gstreamer package installed that you don't.  There's also the
chance my AIFFs are slightly different than yours: perhaps yours are
throwing Totem for a loop. I'm pulling at straws here...

This works for me, too.  Since I want to convert to flac, I used this:

gst-launch-0.10 giosrc location="file:///home/derp/user/Downloads/deniz_koyu-bong_original_remix.aiff" name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audiorate ! audioconvert ! flacenc mid-side-stereo=true quality=5 ! giosink location="file:///home/derp/user/Downloads/deniz_koyu-bong_original_remix.flac"

The metadata made it over to the flac: audacious played the converted
file and displayed the metadata without issue.

Soooo, is this a bug in soundconverter, or am I using soundconverter
incorrectly?
