[Bug 608515] [NEW] Can't establish audio or video calls

[Scott Severance]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When I try to place either an audio or a video call to a GTalk user, I
get the following error message:

Can't establish audio stream
There was a failure in the call engine
Technical details
Could not create the valve element

When I receive a call from a GTalk user, my webcam lights up for < 0.5
s, then it turns off and I get the same error as above.

Google searches suggested installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, but that
made no difference; the error is the same.
