How do I get sound files to preview when I mouseover an icon?  I have my
preferences set to "Preview sound files: -> Always" but when I mouseover
audio files they don't play.  Doing a "ps auxw" with and without a
mouseover in progess shows no difference in the running processes, so my
guess is that something should be running that isn't.

Is this a GStreamer issue?  Should gst-launch be running, and if so
shouldn't it auto-start when I log in to a gnome session?  I looked at
the man page for gst-launch and it's a regular bear.  There must be some
facility that manages it so that I don't have to do it myself.

This works on my Ubuntu-based laptop, and _used_ to work on my Gentoo
desktop, but hasn't worked for a while.  It would be handy to get it
working again.
