           Summary: Gstreamer fails to run pipelines into alsasink
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.8
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: ddl1002 at earthlink.net

Please describe the problem:
After installing alsa and the alsasink plug-in.  Gstreamer does not want to run
the pipeline.  The command "gst-launch-0.8 sinesrc ! alsasink" gives the message:
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to play. 
Linux distribution is Debian, testing.  
Gstreamer-0.8 is installed from the distributinon as is alsa 1.0.8-7

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install alsa-modules and alsa-base
2. Install gstreamer0.8 including gstreamer0.8-alsa
3. type: gst-launch sinesrc ! alsasink 
4. OR: attempt to play an audio using rhythmbox

Actual results:
gstreamer0.8: (See description)
Trying to play rhythmbox gives error popup:  "Internal GStreamer error:
negotiation problem.  File a bug."

Expected results:
Should hear tone from gst-launch command.
Music should play from rhythmbox.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Other non-gstreamer apps seem to work OK.  For example, totem plays audios just
fine.  I suspect it has something to do with alsasink not successfully opening
the the audio or pcm device or some such.
