Gstreamer0.10 does not work anymore.

Hello,
    I was running banshee with some music in there but in the second I needed to shut down my computer. I just clicked 'System -> Shutdown' in my Gnome menu and it was ok until I come back to my music. I am using banshee with gstreamer0.10. The problem is that Alsa works fine but any gstreamer based applications does not work. For example banshee is giving me output in console:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1008:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave

While I am trying to get it to work and when I am trying to run music it is giving me:

[Error 19:16:38.836] GStreamer resource error: OpenWrite
[Error 19:16:39.139] GStreamer resource error: OpenWrite
[Error 19:16:39.431] GStreamer resource error: OpenWrite

[mazur@localhost Colder]$ pacman -Q | grep gstreamer
gstreamer0.10 0.10.23-1
gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.23-1

gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.7-1
gstreamer0.10-good 0.10.15-1
gstreamer0.10-good-plugins 0.10.15-1

I tried to reinstall gstreamer0.10 with any plugins but it does not work, I even deleted my /home/mazur/ configs but still the same problem. Any ideas?

Nevermind, it works now. How? I have no idea, I just installed Amarok to play some music because it is using phonon and after reboot my gstreamer0.10 works again.

Just a guess: maybe you are not in group audio ?

Re: Gstreamer0.10 does not work anymore.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I was using kernel26 - 2.6.30-4 from TESTING and this is why gstreamer was not working. I am now on kernel26 - 2.6.29 and it works properly! Is that a bug from ArchLinux or from Kernel.org?

Most likely from ALSA. Kernel 2.6.30 uses the 1.0.20-drivers and 2.6.29 uses 1.0.19 (or 18, not sure)

Re: Gstreamer0.10 does not work anymore.

Version of 'alsa-utils' in extra is 1.0-20 so it should works, isn't it? The problem is that it sometimes work and sometimes not, this is why I came back to 2.6.29.
