[SOLVED] Libreoffice without sound

Hello.
I'm trying to enable  sound on libreoffice but without success.
Presentations have no sound, even when I import sound from the 'gallery', the preview window is gray and with no sound.
I followed the instructions on Libreoffice and Gstreamer but without success.

pacman -Q |grep gst

gst-libav 1.4.5-1
gst-plugins-base 1.4.5-1
gst-plugins-base-libs 1.4.5-1
gst-plugins-good 1.4.5-1
gst-plugins-ugly 1.4.5-1
gstreamer 1.4.5-1
gstreamer0.10 0.10.36-4
gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.36-3
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.13-2
phonon-qt4-gstreamer 4.8.2-1

pacman -Q |grep java

java-environment-common 2-2
java-runtime-common 2-2

What package do I miss?

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice without sound

After some tests, when I open libre from terminal and try to play a sound from the gallery, sound is produced with 5 seconds delay and the terminal gives me the following errors:

(gst-plugin-scanner:4431): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstkate.so': libkate.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(gst-plugin-scanner:4431): GStreamer-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstopencv.so': libopencv_calib3d.so.2.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But both files exist. Is there a bug?
On pps files I have no sound.

Re: [SOLVED] Libreoffice without sound

Well, I found out that the links for the sound on 'gallery' are broken.
There are no files at .config/libreoffice/4/user/gallery/sounds/
So this is a bug

There are some pps files where I have sound. So I think this post is closed...
