are you sure that a soundcard is defined on your system, and that no other application is playing sopund at the same time? which distribution is this?
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-12-06 08:53:28 UTC 
If you can't play sound with any program at all, then there's probably something wrong with your system setup (what error are you getting from mplayer?)  Probably best to consult your distro's support forums to get this sorted out.

As a starting point, try going to:

  System => Preferences => Sound

and then try different settings for the 'Music and Movies' audio output there.


As for the GStreamer side of things, the rotten error message is a known bug in gconfaudiosink, so closing bug as duplicate.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
