Well, thanks for the bug report, but version 0.10.20 is from June 2008. I'm
afraid we can't support almost 3-year old versions of GStreamer. Best to file a
bug with CentOS then.

This is the underlying problem:

WARN alsa pcm_hw.c:1321:snd_pcm_hw_open:alsalib error: open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
failed: No such file or directory
WARN  alsa pcm_dmix.c:1008:snd_pcm_dmix_open:alsalib error: unable to open
slave
WARN alsa gstalsasink.c:697:gst_alsasink_open:<autoaudiosink0-actual-sink-alsa>
error: Could not open audio device for playback.
WARN alsa gstalsasink.c:697:gst_alsasink_open:<autoaudiosink0-actual-sink-alsa>
error: Playback open error on device 'default': No such file or directory

Which is ultimately a distro problem (not setting up a default device). You can
see if there's a gnome-sound-properties program to select a specific audio
device.

The problem with the rubbish error message has been fixed ages ago (in
gst-plugins-good).
