Hi, Ok, I'm looking at your bug with fresh eyes, and I followed a completely wrong approach. Looking at the source code provided more information on where your bug might come from: - the error message is generated by totem trying to create a "bacon-video-widget", that is the widget used to play videos, but it has sound support, - I couldn't find the second part of your error message in the totem source itself, so it's certainly returned by a backed, either gstreamer or xine.
Please tell me whether you use totem-xine or totem-gstreamer. If you use totem-xine, please try to install xine and play something, if you use totem-gstreamer, please try to install rhythmbox or muine and play something. If you use totem-xine, please provide your xine and totem-xine configuration files. You can also try: gst-launch-0.8 gnomevfssrc location=/path/to/my/musicfile.ogg ! \ spider ! volume ! audioscale ! audioconvert ! $(gconftool-2 \ -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink) instead. If you use totem-gstreamer, please give me the output of: gconftool-2 -g /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink Thanks and sorry for the previous questions which obviously missed the target! -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Neutral President: I have no strong feelings one way or the other."
