Have you done a security upgrade recently? My upgrade from Breezy to
Dapper work fine with sound and everything else. After a security
upgrade on Saturday, I have been unable to get any program to play
sound on my machine. I have checked levels and configuration and they
all look good, but no sound. I'm thinking it's a Gstreamer issue, but I
haven't had the time to troubleshoot.
