Hi David! (Thanks for the reply.)

Because the "Using Gstreamer" page says to enter a series of commands such as,
"gst-inspect osssink", replacing the "osssink" with:

esdsink for ESound output
artsdsink for aRTs output (not ported to 0.10 yet)
alsasink for ALSA output
alsaspdifsink for ALSA S/PDIF output

...and in every case, the result was:

No such element or plugin '<plugin name>'

...so where do I go when none of the documented alternatives work? I would like
to begin with a simple sine wave sound, but the "Using Gstreamer" provides no
direction when reachig a dead end like this. Do you know of a command that will
tell me what "????sink" output plugins are currently available in an
installation? I entered the "gst-inspect" command by itself and it provided a
lot of interesting information, but listed no "output plugins" for me to choose
from.

- Bill
