  GStreamer | gst-plugins | Ver: 0.10.12
           Summary: PulseAudio plugin takes long to determine whether
                    PulseAudio server is running.
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: gattahernan at hotmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: 2.17/2.18
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Whenever I launch a GStreamer-based application and the Audio output settings
are set to Autodetect, GStreamer first tries to see if pulseaudiosink is a good
output and it takes around ten seconds to figure out that the PulseAudio server
is not running to then fall into a plugin that works. Setting the output plugin
to ALSA for example, works instantly. The PulseAudio plugin has a Rank of 256
while alsasink has 253, so the first is chosen probed first.
