 Interesting, it shows:
...

 Part of the bug was quite clear from your original report.

 Would you please install libasound2-dev and "build-essential" and build
 the attached sine.c file with:
    gcc -o sine -lasound sine.c
 ... you should get the same error than with GStreamer or hear some
 sound when you run the resulting ./sine binary.

   Thanks,
