My initial experience with gstreamer was also very bad - I think
because some distros (Ubuntu for one) either shipped
totem/gstreamer0.8 as the default movie player before it was ready, or
shipped an unusable configuration. I'll definitely try again after
Paul's comments.

So what's the relationship between PulseAudio and gstreamer? Are
these projects cooperating at all or being pushed by competing
distros?
