gstreamer0.10-pulse not found

Hello
I installed arch linux 64 bit + kde yesterday on my acer travelmate 5740g and minor stuff, i am using all 4 repos.

everything except the toughpad works fine, but thats an other topic.

now i try to get pulse running.

pacman -S pulseaudio
pacman -S paprefs pavucontrol

after calling several versions of start-pulse, it now automaticly runs when starting kde (my .xinitrc calls startkde btw)

after the first boot, phonon lost the hdmi sound output (still has normal output), pulse had hdmi and normal. sound worked. i dont know if systemsounds were using pulse or not.
after the second boot/start of kde, phonon also lost the normal output, no more system sounds. but sound works in vlc (default and pulse output, both seem to use pulse), so i tried the gstreamer part of the wiki.

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-pulse doesnt work, package not found

gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink
gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc

has no effect, still no system-sound (flash, games, etc)

help plz :-/

Re: gstreamer0.10-pulse not found

pulseaudio must works out-of-the-box with KDE4, just select it in the preferences of KDE

so i would try to delete pulseaudio entry from the .xinitrc, select pulseaudio in the KDE prefs and see if NOW it works ....

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: gstreamer0.10-pulse not found

While this is getting some attention, I have a perhaps related problem to this(if not, sorry and ignore please). I'm trying to get good pulseaudio integration in KDE4.6, meaning; the 'speaker setup' tab in multimedia settings. It's not there no matter what I try, which backend I use, and google/wiki tells me nothing. Is this tab in a specific package that I have missed? All I've seen is that it should work in 4.6 if pulseaudio is properly installed. It works fine in Kubuntu Live.

To Viruz: You might wanna try this /etc/asound.conf.

oscar@arch-laptop: [~] >>> cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

pcm.phononpulse {
  type plug
  slave.pcm {
    type pulse
  }
  hint {
    show on
    description "PulseAudio"
  }
}
