I'm full alsa. I installer gstreamer right out of the box. I try to launch totem, but it failed. I try: # gst-launch-0.8 alsasrc But it complains: ** (process:19094): CRITICAL **: how to remove plugins? (process:19094): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `alsasrc' has no type. This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry is broken. The plugin GStreamer was looking for is named 'alsa' and is expected in file '/usr/ lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstalsa.so'. The registry for this plugin is located at '/ var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml' ERREUR: le tube n'a pas pu etre construit: pas d'element "alsasrc".

Do you have prelinking enabled ? If so, please have a look at bug #81512
Could also be a problem with hardened, look at bug #70631
I tried to make: 'LDFLAGS="-nonow" emerge -va gstreamer gst-plugins gst-plugins-ogg gst-plugins- esd gst-plugins-flac gst-plugins-vorbis gst-plugins-alsa gst-plugins-cdparanoia gst-plugins-mad' as said in same bug, with no luck Putting 'use hardened && append-ldflags “-Xcompiler -nonow”' (as said in Bug 70631) in gst-plugins.eclass make gstreamer work ... Almost: mad plugin don't work, some video appears distorted. (ffplay and vlc play them well, with sound) I think this bug is closed. I'll open an other one if I don't find how to make mad plugin work!
