I had the same issues. I had been using an asound.conf found somewhere.
Worked fine in hoary, as well as for apps in breezy, except for any that
used gstreamer. That is, libao apps (configured for alsa out) and
totem-xine played and mixed just fine, but r-b and muine and
totem-gstreamer, as well as gstreamer-properties all played choppily.

When I blew away my asound.conf, gstreamer began to work just like the
other apps.
