(SOLVED)gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed.

Everything has been going so well with Arch that I didn't realize my sound wasn't working! I followed the full alsa wiki-guide, installed OSS cross compatibility, and added 'options snd-intel8x0 ac97_quirk=0' modprobe.conf and have yet to hear anything but my system beeps. I also attempted to unmute everything in alsa mixer (gnome) and that yeilded no fruit either.

Testing sound in sound preferences returns this error:

audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed.  Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer.

lsmod|grep '^snd' returns:

And  ls -l /dev/snd/ returns:

crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 2007-10-14 06:03 timer

Any idea what the problem could be? I saw that some where having similar trouble with Ubuntu, but the solutions don't appear to be relevant. Other's suggested installing new alsa-drivers from "HG", but I don't know how to do that, or know if it is necessary.

EDIT: I should add that I also added alsa and esd my rc.conf

Thanks!

Whatever the problem was, I guess I just need to reboot!

All clear here, sorry for the mess.
