Same applies to me for an i386 box as described in
http://bugs.debian.org/172127 . The maintainer says it was fixed
in gstreamer 0.8 but I was not able to hear anything in my last
test (with 0.8).

I usually test my setup with xmms (configured to play sound via
alsa).

GStreamer and ALSA

[John Lenz]

Has anyone gotten gstreamer alsasink to work?  I can play a file with  
alsaplayer just fine, so I know alsa and the kernel and everything is  
working, but when I run for example

gst-launch-0.8 --gst-debug-level=2 sinesrc ! alsasink
RUNNING pipeline ...
WARN  (0x50ac20 - 304367:44:35.501704000)alsa(10673)  
gstalsa.c(1426):gst_alsa_probe_hw_params:  
"snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near (this->handle, hw_params,  
&period_size, 0)": Invalid argument
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to play.

Rhythmbox doesn't work either if I set it to use alsasink.  If I load  
the OSS emulation driver snd_pcm_oss, I can use the osssink with  
gstreamer/rhythmbox just fine.

I am using the gcc-3.4 repository on alioth.  Is this a amd64 problem  
or a more general problem?
