I am streaming music from a Gentoo machine (amd64) to a Windows XP PC (running the daemon). Using audacious (which has a native pulseaudio plugins) - everything works. Using any program based on gstreamer (totem, quodlibet, etc..), I can play ogg, wav, ac3 files without problems but not mp3 files. >> totem test.mp3 ** Message: Error: Failed to create stream: (null) pulsesink.c(388): gst_pulsesink_prepare (): /play/visbin/abin/audiosinkbin/audio-sink/bin6/pulsesink1 I run gstreamer-0.10.20 gst-plugins-pulse-0.9.7 and pulseaudio-0.9.10-r1. and gstreamer-properties is set to use the pulseaudio plugins.

Make sure it's gst-plugins-good-0.10.8-r1 and gst-plugins-gconf-0.10.8-r1 installed, -r1 from both.
... and don't mix ~arch version of gstreamer into stable, or at least make sure you get the whole set (including correct versions of liboil, libs and separate plugins including apps that support the versions)
I run stable amd64 mostly. I try to keep packages.keywords to a minimum. Anyway updated good and gconf to -r1, no change. About the other dependencies, I assumed the ebuild would pull the necessary ones... any clue where I can find out which dependencies version you mentioned which are not included in the ebuild ?
Could you provide a list of all gst-plugins-* which you have installed? app-portage/eix can give you a nice list. Thanks

Here's the magic command line to start figuring out where things go wrong : gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=<full path> ! decodebin ! pulsesink And paste the output here :) Thanks
@Rémi: stop touching the fields, you jackass!
just to be clear /etc/init.d/pulseaudio is not started on this PC as it has no configured sound card. Config is minimal afaik. /etc/pulse/client.conf only contains the default-server to send to (in this case the windows PC). I have not set default-sink. It shows as "wave_output" "Windows waveOut PCM" in the PulseAudio Manager. I tested both mp3 and ogg. ogg plays, mp3 doesn't. >> gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=./test.mp3 ! decodebin ! pulsesink Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... /pipeline0/decodebin0/typefind.src: caps = application/x-id3 /pipeline0/decodebin0/id3demux0.sink: caps = application/x-id3 /pipeline0/decodebin0/mpegaudioparse0.sink: caps = audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3 /pipeline0/decodebin0/mpegaudioparse0.src: caps = audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, parsed=(boolean)true /pipeline0/decodebin0/mad0.sink: caps = audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2, parsed=(boolean)true /pipeline0/decodebin0/mad0.src: caps = audio/x-raw-int, endianness=(int)1234, signed=(boolean)true, width=(int)32, depth=(int)32, rate=(int)44100, channels=(int)2 Pipeline is PREROLLING ...

How about that one ? (I've added an audioconvert element) gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=<full path> ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! pulsesink I'm thinking the difference is related to having float samples in one file, and integer samples in the other file... maybe?
Nope, not working with the audioconvert either.
