Package: gstreamer0.8 Severity: normal After I set this system up, I discovered that I couldn't run any programs that used gstreamer. This was despite having perfectly functional sound via ALSA and having gstreamer0.8-alsa installed. A typical example follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ quodlibet Supported formats: oggvorbis, mp3 Loaded song library. Opening audio device. E: No valid GStreamer sinks found. E: Set 'pipeline' in ~/.quodlibet/config. A few days ago, I decided to try debugging this futher. I found the gstreamer-properties program and ran it. It said I was using ALSA, which I am. I closed gstreamer-properties **without changing a single setting**, ran quodlibet again, and it worked! IMO, gstreamer should either incorporate whatever autodetection gstreamer-properties is using, or generate error messages that indicate what has to be done to get things working.
