You are sure that you didn't update something beforehand or replaced the desktop with some other packages? What output do you get on 22.04 when uninstalling libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev and installing an existing package, to double-check that's a problem of libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev.

And even if so, I think here's not the right place to post the issue, as it's clearly system related and has nothing to do with this package on itself. There's nothing that audioplayers team can do about it. Contact the developers directly if you're absolutely sure about your observation: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer

[Gustl22]

@eggfly can you close? As it turns out not to be the fault of audioplayers...
