Quod Libet autosink Driver Error, Won't Load [NOT SOLVED]

After the latest round of upgrades (QuodLibet v0.19), whenever I try to run the program, I get this error box:
[URL=http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=quodlibeterror6dk.png][/URL]
...and the output from the terminal is this:

$ quodlibet
Supported formats: oggvorbis
Loaded song library.
Opening audio device.

...this might also be of interest:

$ pacman -Q | grep gst
gst-plugins 0.8.11-2
gst-plugins-mad 0.8.11-1
gst-python 0.8.2-3
gstreamer 0.8.11-1
gstreamer0.10 0.10.4-1
gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.5-1
gstreamer0.10-mad 0.10.3-1
gstreamer0.10-ogg 0.10.5-1
gstreamer0.10-python 0.10.3-1
gstreamer0.10-ugly 0.10.3-1
gstreamer0.10-vorbis 0.10.5-1

Sound is otherwise working fine through XMMS and Mplayer.  I looked at the config file mentioned by the error message, but the line is blank and I didn't know what to put there.  I also tried removing the <code>~/.quodlibet</code> directory and restarting, but get the same problem.  I searched the forums, but didn't come up with anything of interest.  It was working just fine before the latest upgrade.  Any suggestions?

Install either the gstreamer0.10-good plugin or the gstreamer0.10-gconf plugin. Quod libet will search for gconf, if it can't find that, it will use the autoaudiosink, which is in -good. Without any of these, quod libet can't play sound.

install gstreamer0.10-good for detecting the audiosink and gstreamer0.10-alsa for the alsasink. (without the -alsa plugin, gstreamer uses oss).

the gconf plugin installs -good too, but it's enough to install the -good package. and it keeps some gnome stuff off the disk that i don't want

it's a pitty that radio streams quod libet only work with gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs, as bmpx works with gstreamer0.10-neon too and even better than with -gnomevfs. plus gnomevfs needs a lot of gnome.
the strange thing is, that quod libet shows the (else hidden) radio streams view with -neon and you can search streams but you can't play them

Great...installing the gstreamer0.10-good seemed to do it for me.  I also installed the alsa one before that, but it made no difference.  Thanks for the help!

--==EDIT==--
Looks like I spoke too soon.  Quod Libet would load once I did that, but the errors were still there on the command line until I installed the -gconf plugin.  That removed the error, but now I'm sharing a similar fate as Cimi and can't play MP3s anymore.  I'll have to keep working...
