 I was trying to play an ogg video, specifically the one at
 http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2008/Thu/mel8-178.ogg ,  in
 Totem on my Fedora 8 laptop. At first I thought that it wasn't playing at
 all, but then I realized that the file was just playing extremely slowly,
 say at 1.5 seconds per frame.

 I had been doing this after I brought my laptop back from suspend-to-disk,
 which often causes my pulseaudio server to lock up in some way. I tried
 restarting my pulse server, and after that the video played back ok. (When
 the pulseaudio server is locked up, the process is still there, but e.g.
 'paplay /path/to/some.wav' will give a 'Connection refused' error.)

 I was told that this was most likely a bug in the pulseaudio GStreamer
 sink, so I'm filing a bug here.
