Description john 2004-03-31 17:03:21 UTC 
I installed gstreamer-0.7.3 and gst-plugins-0.7.3 from source on my Slackware
Linux 9 system (which already has gstreamer-0.6.0 and its prerequisites) - ask
for the full details if you wish to follow this up - and finally ran
gst-register. I saw:

The registry seems nevertheless to have been created ok. At least:

$ gst-inspect alsasink

and:

$ gst-launch sinesrc ! alsasink

from the new installation work fine.

We're not really interested in bugs in 0.7.3 anymore.  Please install 0.8.0.

I seem to remember this bug, and it was fixed rather quickly.  If you still have
problems with 0.8.0, please reopen.
