 As far as I understand, this means no XVideo port is available, you can
 confirm this by running "xvinfo".

 This means gstreamer0.8 is configured to use XVideo by default.

 Changing your configuration to "ximagesink" should solve the problem
 for you, but naturally the "playbin" element needs fixing.

 Please confirm me that changing your configured videosink with
 "gstreamer-properties" or wih "gconf-editor" to ximagesink solves this
 for you.

   Bye,
