Hi,

What's you kernel drivers - alsa or oss ?
Also, please be sure that your gstreamer is correctly configured
(alsa-sink for alsa, esd-sink for esd if it's running, oss-sink if you
have oss). I know that this may  sound stupid but it wouldn't be the
first time that a misconfigured gstreamer leads to weird problems.

To test the configuration, you may use the programm call
'acme-volume-gstreamer' at http://rtpnet.nerim.net/tmp/. If it doesn't
complain, could you try the packages in the same directory ?

Regards,
Arnaud
