did you build all of the ports that depend on gstreamer against
gstreamer-0.10.x?  considering that gstreamer-0.10 is not API
compatible with gstreamer-0.8, and gstreamer-0.10 was released
_after_ some of the versions of the ports in the tree that depend
on gstreamer ...

also, how are you using gstreamer-0.10?  do you have any audio
output plugins installed?  you have made ports for
gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10?  gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10?

you don't _have_ to.  many audio output programs support setting
the output sample rate.  I suggest reading the documentation
for whatever audio output programs you use, and either set the
output sample rate in configuration files or make aliases in
your shell.

there are some problems with OSS emulation.  it should be avoided
if possible.
