Description
Hi,
I've installed beets on linux mint 17.3.
I'm trying to get the chroma plugin to work but I got an error during import with every mp3 file saying
'''chroma: fingerprinting of 'music_raw/foo.mp3' failed: audio could not be decoded'''
I tried digging a bit in ipython and got to this point:
```
In [10]: f = gstdec.GstAudioFile("Pearl Jam - I Am Mine.mp3")
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
MetadataMissingError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 f = gstdec.GstAudioFile("Leona Lewis - Bleeding in Love.mp3")
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/audioread/gstdec.pyc in __init__(self, path)
256 # An error occurred before the stream became ready.
257 self.close(True)
--> 258 raise self.read_exc
259
260 # Gstreamer callbacks.
MetadataMissingError: duration not available
```
I am able to play these files in other music players.
Not sure what information you need to reproduce the error but if you let know I'll post it.

Research direction
Start at the gstdec.GstAudioFile entry point shown in the traceback and reproduce the failure with Python 2.7, audioread 2.1.2, and GStreamer 1.2.4. Investigate why duration is unavailable for the reported MP3 files; done means duration is returned and the files can be decoded for chroma fingerprinting.
