Hi,
I'm reassigning this to gstreamer0.10-alsa as it's a problem with the alsa sink.
In fact it even looks like a problem with either your alsa soundcard driver or your soundcard
thus I'm setting the severity down to important for now as it shouldn't affect too many people.


Could you please give some informations about your sound hardware and driver? Do other applications
that use alsa work for you?

Bye
