This was helpful. The "device busy" error message means that a codec is not 
available (I have no idea why the error message is so uninformative, but that 
is the case). Try installing the windows codecs. The fix is simple. First 
open a terminal, then type:

mkdir tmp; cd tmp
wget -c http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20060501.tar.bz2
tar xvjf *.tar.bz2
cd all-20060501
sudo -i
mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs/
cp * /usr/local/lib/codecs/
cd /usr/local/lib/codecs/
chmod 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/*
mkdir /usr/lib/win32
cp /usr/local/lib/codecs/* /usr/lib/win32
exit
cd ~
rm -Rf tmp

You should try Dapper with gstreamer 0.10 though. Its much better than 
gstreamer 0.8. Just use synaptic to install all the various gstreamer 0.10 
plugins.

Interestingly, even you bug report was insulting. How can you expect people to 
want to help you?
