I received this error today after a new install, then upgrade via freshrpm's apt/synaptic. A google on the error led me to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119958 I changed the default audiosink from "alsasink" to "alsasink device=hw:0" this allowed the first second of the song to play and repeat while the timer progressed normally. Following a link to another bugreport led me to try "esdsink" as the audiosink. That got me nowhere as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Wayne Steenburg
