Hello. I realize this is kind of jumping the gun but I had (a lot of) spare time to fuss about and decided to help get GNOME ready. I unmasked 2.10 and installed. Everything is fine, except for this one problem. Upon insertion of a CD, GNOME-CD should begin, however, it shows a 'application unexpectedly quit' error and dies. I recompiled with USE="debug" and my CFLAGS set to nothing, but it persisted. It spits out the following error in the console: arcueid@arcueid ~ $ gnome-cd ** (gnome-cd:10549): WARNING **: No GConf default audio sink key and osssink doesn't work ** ERROR **: file gst-cdparanoia-cdrom.c: line 283 (build_pipeline): assertion failed: (priv->audio_sink != 0) aborting... It's probably an easy fix but I'm lost at this point. Should also be noted that Totem reads and plays the CD fine. I tried reinstalling the gstreamer plugin gst-cdparanoia and it didn't work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert Audio CD. 2.Either allow gnome-cd to start automatically, open gnome-cd or insert while gnome-cd open. 3.Crash occurs.

what do you have set for audio sink in preferences->multimedia system selector ? Also do a 'gst-inspect-0.8 cdparanoia', see if it exists. This might just be misssing deps.
I had 'osssink' in there. I changed it to the EsounD 'esdsink' and now the CD player works. However, it should not be dying with ALSA in the first place. Wasn't one of the major driving points of ALSA to replace Sound Daemons?
Actually, I changed 'osssink' over to 'alsasink' and it works without the need for EsounD. If osssink is crashing gnome-cd, why not just make alsasink the default for new GNOME 2.10 installations?
Do you even have an oss device? ls -l /dev/dsp
I have ALSA-OSS emulation in the kernel, but I don't know if it even does anything anymore. I try to stay away from OSS as much as possible, so I hadn't even compiled any of the programs with OSS support. I don't believe I have any OSS devices, no.
When CD tray is opened, running gnome-cd ends with crash, no matter which multimedia system is set in the preferences. $ gnome-cd ** (gnome-cd:10747): WARNING **: Error reading CD header ** ERROR **: file gst-cdparanoia-cdrom.c: line 268 (build_pipeline): assertion failed: (priv->cdparanoia != 0) aborting... $ gst-inspect-0.8 cdparanoia No such element or plugin 'cdparanoia' Looks like gnome-media (or whichever ebuild provides gnome-cd) should have gst-plugins-cdparanoia as a dependancy.
added gst-plugins-cdparanoia dep
btw the crashes when the plugin isnt around should be fixed in the next micro release.
