Current bug behaviour

Trying to run the minimal example (https://pub.dev/packages/audioplayers/example) on Steam deck yields the following error:

flutter: AudioPlayers Exception: AudioPlayerException(
    AssetSource(path: ambient_c_motion.mp3, mimeType: null),
    PlatformException(LinuxAudioError, Failed to set source. For troubleshooting, see: https://github.com/bluefireteam/audioplayers/blob/main/troubleshooting.md, Internal data stream error. (Domain: gst-stream-error-quark, Code: 1), null)

Expected behaviour

I was expecting the audio to play, but it didn`t.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the minimal example on Steam Deck

Code sample

Code sample

import 'dart:async';

import 'package:audioplayers/audioplayers.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MaterialApp(home: _SimpleExampleApp()));
}

class _SimpleExampleApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const _SimpleExampleApp();

  @override
  _SimpleExampleAppState createState() => _SimpleExampleAppState();
}

class _SimpleExampleAppState extends State<_SimpleExampleApp> {
  late AudioPlayer player = AudioPlayer();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();

    // Create the audio player.
    player = AudioPlayer();

    // Set the release mode to keep the source after playback has completed.
    player.setReleaseMode(ReleaseMode.stop);

    // Start the player as soon as the app is displayed.
    WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) async {
      await player.setSource(AssetSource('ambient_c_motion.mp3'));
      await player.resume();
    });
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    // Release all sources and dispose the player.
    player.dispose();

    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('Simple Player'),
      ),
      body: PlayerWidget(player: player),
    );
  }
}

// The PlayerWidget is a copy of "/lib/components/player_widget.dart".

  @override

    // Subscriptions only can be closed asynchronously,
    // therefore events can occur after widget has been disposed.
    if (mounted) {
