Whenever a program plays a sound through GStreamer (Rhythmbox, Pidgin, etc), the song/sound will skip at the very first second, which sounds kind of staticy, but it only does it once, and the rest of playback is fine and doesnt skip or make any static/popping sounds. It does not happen in any program that is not using GStreamer.

I have experienced this problem both using ALSA and OSS4. It has happened with all versions of GStreamer in the past year or so (possibly longer, I first tried GStreamer a year ago and it started happening immediately). The latest version I've tried is 0.10.23-1
My OS is really Arch Linux, but for some reason I cannot select GStreamer as a package with Arch listed as my distro, so I just chose Ubuntu as distro is really not an issue here. It has occured on every distro I've tried.
Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https:/
