Public bug reported:

Lubuntu Raring (13.04).
The Lubuntu standard installation comes without jack, and without pulse, just 
plain alsa. Gstreamer applications (rhythmbox, banshee) used to work fine after 
installing "ubuntu-restricted-extras", which pulls in the usual gstreamer 
plugins.
On my system, gstreamer applications stopped working. They report:
> Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
> Cannot connect to server request channel
> jack server is not running or cannot be started
Since there is no jack on this system, never was, and is not intended to be 
there, I cannot understand this message. The applications do not produce sound.

This looks like gstreamer tries to start up jackd, regardless whether it
is installed or not.
