[SOLVED] GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices

In my experiments to get the headphone jack working my my Mac Pro, I have managed to break the audio system. That's often the result of experimenting towards solving a problem.

I get this error when attempting to open the audio mixer panel.

"GStreamer was unable to detect and sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem."

I suspect that the audio drivers have been corrupted during my experiments. How do I restore them?
