Gstreamer is missing a plugin to play certain audio file types

I had installed the Ultimate Codec Pack from Warehouse and it worked fine in playing any kind of media including ogg, ogx (received via SailorGram) and amr (received via Whatsup). But now, after upgrading to 1.1.9.28, it shows an error for a missing plugin.

Any idea, what causes the problem? Does the codec pack need an update (there's no updates in Warehouse)? On the new release changelog there are changes in gstreamer.

Edit: In 2.0.0.10 playback starts to work for ogg and ogx, but not yet for amr.
