Hi, we now have a gconfaudiosink and a autoaudiosink in CVS. The gconfaudiosink
wraps the GConf keys. The idea is that the default value will be autoaudiosink
sometime soon.

Autoaudiosink tries all available audiosinks in order of their rank (currently:
alsa, oss). This works for almost all cases, except the soundservers. The idea
for those is to add an interface of some sort that we can call in the NULL
element state to see if the soundserver is running. If so, we use that, else, we
go to next. So the algorhythm is:

audiosinks = get_by_category ("Sink/Audio").order_by_rank
for try in audiosinks; do
  if try.is_sound_server; then
    if try.sound_server_is_running; then
      if try.set_state (READY); then
        return try
      fi
    fi
  fi
done

for try in audiosinks; do
  if !try.is_sound_server; then
    if try.set_state (READY); then
      return try
    fi
  fi
done

That piece of logic hasn't been implemented yet. Once that's done, I consider
this bug fixed.
