It's straightforward to see if PulseAudio is the problem by trying it directly
with ALSA. You can change the output of gstreamer programs (Rhythmbox, Totem
(without Xine), etc.) by running gstreamer-properties. To stop ALSA itself
running through PulseAudio you may also have to comment out or move the files
/etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc .
With things configured without PulseAudio then you can kill the daemon with
pulseaudio -k then try something gstreamer based. If it works then PulseAudio
is at fault and you'd probably be best without it at the moment, if not then
you may have an ALSA issue, which can be more annoying to figure out, but
there's thankfully a lot more Google hits for them :)
Hope that helps,
Chris
