Hi all,
I'm having multimedia problems. When I fire up gnome-cd and press play I get the following error:

(gnome-cd:4067): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_pad_send_event: assertion `GST_STATE (parent) >= GST_STATE_PAUSED' failed

and nothing happens. I really wanted to test out some headphones I was borrowing so I thought I would rip the disk and listen to the songs using rhythmbox but after ripping the CD and trying to play the ogg file I got the following error:

GStreamer-WARNING **: element pipeline claimed state-change success,but state didn't change to PLAYING. State is PAUSED (NONE_PENDING pending), fix the element Got error opening "file:///home/ ...
Any help would be appreciated.

I found this from yum about xmms-cdread.i386. You can install xmms and xmms-cdread.i386 and then try playing cd with xmms.

xmms-cdread.i386                         0.14-6.a               extras
Matched from:
xmms-cdread
Digital audio CD input plugin for XMMS
XMMS is a multimedia (Ogg Vorbis, CDs) player for the X Window System
with an interface similar to Winamp's. XMMS supports playlists and
streaming content and has a configurable interface.

This is the input plugin needed to play audio CDs digitally, i.e. without a connecting cable between the CD drive and sound card. http://www.xmms.org/

Maybe this can help.
