2."Device"->"Sound Event",Change "ESD" from "default",click "Test"
3."Sounds",Check the"'Enable software sound mixing" checkbox and "Play system
sounds"checkbox.
4.Navigate to "System Sounds" list,select one system event, focus "Play" button
and action it.


Actual results:
After#2:There is a warning as follows
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample !

Does this happen every time?
Log out and Log in again, all the sounds play well.

Other information:
-----------------------------------
Here is my report:

Fedora Core 8 x86_64, AMD AMII 3500+ AMD CPU, 2GB RAM. Applied 8 updates
(including one for GStreamer) on May 29, 2008. After that, my system has no
sound. I verified that the soundcard was detected and heard the test sound.
Like the posting above, I went to System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound.

I don't know what GStreamer update I applied (if someone tells me where to find
the logfile, I'll post that info too), but it caused my system to stop playing
sounds. This is my first ever bugzilla report so I hope I covered everything,
if not, please ask for specifics and how I can locate the information desired.

If this helps, here you go:
[matt at localhost ~]$ yum list gstreamer*
