I've been using gnometris for a week without problem, but from yesterday it dies about 2 or 3 seconds after starting the game. I opened gnometris from a terminal, and the output was:

myusername@myhostname:~$ gnometris

I removed gnome-games and installed it again (apt-get remove + apt-get install) and it worked for that day, but today I had again the same problem. This time it didn't work the trick.

It seems that it's something related with sound, because if I disable the sound in the settings->preferences of gnometris, it works allright. The problem happened with compizfusion enabled and disabled, so it doesn't seem to be related with that.

This is a bug in GStreamer, which has been reported here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466717

Upgrading to the latest GStreamer release might resolve the issue.

the bug should be fixed in hardy, closing, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue though
