Hello, I am using parole-0.5.4-1 on Manjaro Linux.

Parole does not play .dat file which contains digital video (svcd). By not play I mean that when I open it with parole, it doesnt play it, nor does it ask for any missing codec to be installed.

The following codecs are installed on my system, all of which were listed as optional dependency for parole:

             gst-libav
             gst-plugins-bad
             gst-plugins-base
             gst-plugins-ugly

The same file plays on VLC media player.

When I click on it, Thunar displays it as "RIFF Audio" in the status bar. I have attached a screenshot also. (After double clicking the media file)
