Subject: gstreamer-jack: Unable to play music

Package: gstreamer-jack
Version: 0.6.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
Justification: renders package unusable

I have successfully configured my jack daemon (without realtime capabilities). I can use it
with xmms and alsaplayer-jack.
I use gstreamer-properties to select jack as audio output. If I select "Test..." the following error
message is displayed :
Failed to construct test pipeline for 'Jack'

When trying to play an mp3 file with gst-player :

INFO ( 6871: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.6.3

So it seems I need a "jack bin". I've tried to build a pipeline in gst-editor :

In a jackbin, I have a fdsrc to read an mp3, a mad0 sound decoder, and a jacksink.
I connect the first two together, but the interface doesn't let me establish the link between
mad::src and jacksink::alsa_pcm:out_1 (when I try this with an alsa sink the two items connect).

And it seems there are some problems with the alsa output too. The only working sound output seems to be
the OSS driver.
