I have this same error (Could not get/set settings from/on resource).
System sounds play, but CDs and sample video and audio files do not.
I use Dapper and have gstreamer-0.10-alsa.
Maybe I need to change the setting for the sound card. The Device
Manager says I have an Aureal Semiconductor
I fixed it! On the command line, enter:
gstreamer-properties
A window for the Multimedia Systems Selector pops up. For Default
Output Plugin, change it to ESD - Enlightenment Sound Daemon.
Now CDs play!
