Last I checked, gstreamer-properties was useless for configuring
totem/rhythmbox/etc., because it configures the wrong gconf key for the
audio output. Totem/rhythmbox and other playback applications use
gconfaudiosink with the 'Music and Movies' profile, which is configured
in the 'musicaudiosink' key in gconf, while gstreamer-properties sets
the 'audiosink' key (gconftool-2 -R /system/gstreamer/0.10/default).
