This issue affected me but installing the three packages above fixes the problem. I attempted libgstreamer by itself and it did not resolve the problem. I installed the last two at the same time but suspect it to be the -pulseaudio package that fixes it as I have seen some other documentation that the client defaults to audio output through pulse.
