           Summary: "Could not open resource for writing"
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gstreamer0.8

Totem (on Breezy. I haven't tried Hoary) can not play any sound on my system. I
see an error dialog that says "Failed to play: Could not open resource for
writing.".

I've tried every Audio Input in the Multimedia Systems Selector, but the test
for each one gives me a "Failed to construct test pipeline for" error dialog.
The video test do work (without Xv).

This is an Acer Travelmate 4101WLMI laptop. I guess it's using built-in audio on
the Intel 915GM chipset, though I'm not sure how to find out, and I grepping
dmesg for "audio" and "sound" doesn't give me any results.

Sound doesn't work in Xine either. However, I do hear the Ubuntu login sound.
