Yeah, there are no doubt issues with various plugins. GStreamer has
become rather large and is still evolving. I've just uploaded 0.6.4
which might resolve some issues.

I'm going to lower the priority of this bug from grave to normal since
it will otherwise hold up all of gst-plugins from testing. And, in my
opinion, it's not that serious to just use another audio output plugin
for now until this gets fixed upstream. If you can help fix plugins
such as JACK and ALSA that would be great.
