Hi!

Getting this error in Exaile:

Playback error encountered!
playsink2

Trying to use Xnoise I get:

GstError parsed: Configured audiosink audiobin not working.

Do you have gstreamer installed ?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Codecs#GStreamer

pacman -S gstreamer0.10-plugins

I htought I had installed it, but maybe there was missing a pacakge... Thanks

So many dependencies, so little time .... LOL

Hi!
I created a new thread about this as I was thinking one should not pick up a Solved thread, but it was shut down and deleted as I was breaking policy rules.... sorry about that. I will just unsolve this thread and pick it up again:

I continue to get an error with playing audio that says in Exaile "playsinkX" where X is a number starting with 0 and increasing with one for every time I try to play a audio file,
and in Xnoise "GstError parsed: configured audiosink audiobin is not working." VLC works fine however.

I have the latest gstreamer0.10-plugins installed.

If I keep on rebooting, one time now and then it works, but I cannot seem to find a solution to what makes it work or not.

jerik it suffices to remove the [SOLVED] mark in your title. This mark is meant to more easily find relevant solutions when serching for a given problem. Your new mark is contradictory to this. Please remove it.

This problem occured to me recently as well. Xnoise has been working before, but never Exaile. I'm not sure when xnoise broke. However, for me the problem got solved when I did

pacman -S gst-plugins-base

The package is not listed as a dependency, but it got both XNoise and Exaile working for me.

I get the same type of error as well. Strawberry was working well yesterday and after a Sleep, it's not.

GStreamer error: state change failed and some element failed to post a proper error message with the reason for the failure.
