+Summary: ALSA sink doesn't work by default anymore
+
+I just installed gstreamer 0.7.4 and recompiled rhythmbox 0.7.0 against it.
+I had gstreamer 0.6.4 previously working fine with rhythmbox 0.6.x using
+ALSA. After the upgrade, I got the following error :
+
+rhythmbox: pcm_plug.c:882: snd_pcm_plug_hw_params: Assertion `err >= 0' failed.
+Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
+
+With this backtrace :

+
+Changing the 'alsasink' I had in my GConf key to 'alsasink device="hw:0"'
+fixes the problem, but it would be really better to have ALSA support
+working by default, and in all cases, I doubt any error of this kind should
+generate a segfault.
+
+This is using the latest Fedora Core Development 2.6 kernel and ALSA 1.0.2
+userland tools from freshrpms.net.
+
+I now also have another problem with rhythmbox which is that when arriving
+near the end of the song currently being played, the playback simply stops
+a few seconds before the end of the song and it never goes to the next. As
+this is both with a new gstreamer and a new rhythmbox, I don't really know
+which is to blame, I'll have to look more into it.
