 Installing "gstreamer010"?  Which exact package did you mean?

Sorry for the lousy information, I was in a hurry :)

This is what I meant:

 strong, perhaps you can explain me how you installed rhythmbox and/or
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good?  It would help tracking why the Recommends
 wasn't installed.

I installed Rhythmbox (or better, upgraded it) via Synaptic.
It actually depends on the plugins package, but surely not on the alsa or esd packages.

 Also, please confirm you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-good version
 0.10.1-2.

I do, see up :)

 If nothing depends on your gstreamer 0.8 packages, you can remove them
 if you want (if you use aptitude, that should happen automatically).

I have some gnome stuff which still depends on gstreamer 0.8.

 Here you say you use ESD, that's an important information, you should
 probably manually install gstreamer0.10-esd if you want to use it.
 There's no way to automate this at the GStreamer level as GStreamer is
 used by KDE apps too.

I see. Actually it was enough for me to look at the new dependencies (gstreamer0.10) to figure this out, maybe checking if gstreamer0.8-esd is installed and *strongly* suggesting to install the 0.10 package in some postinst script could help? Just a thought.

Thank you for your help!
