[SOLVED] GStreamer issues after system upgrade.

A few days ago I upgraded my system for the first time in ~2 months. During this upgrade, my pc lost power. Which broke my system. Badly. I got a kernel error the first time I tried to reboot, and most programs were broken. I managed to fix most stuff myself by just reinstalling all packaged that were upgraded, to ensure they were fully installed, but one thing remains broken. GStreamer. For some reason, the alsasink/src and osssink/src (and perhaps others) are missing when I run gst-inspect-0.10 without root privileges. Quodlibet, which uses gstreamer, also requires root privileges to be able to play music now. My user is part of the audio group.
I've pasted the output of some commands online in the hope that it may help debug this problem, cause quite frankly, I don't have a clue
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums MaienM.

You may have success if you move the registry file under ~/.gstreamer-0.10/ and restarting some application that rebuilds it. I'm guessing that most gst based apps will.
