Ubuntu 10.10 same problem.
I get "pa_stream_cork() failed: Connection terminated" and "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated" when I try to play DVDs with Totem Movie Player 2.32.0 (GStreamer 0.10.30) and every few songs in Rhythmbox 0.13.1 I get the pa_stream_writable_size() one.

Neither of elleP's quick fixes work for me

I am a bit of a newcomer to linux, but I did my best to install David Henningson's package, by typing
 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:diwic/fighting-rewinds
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
and then logging out/in, and to no avail.

Now, since that didn't work, if I simply remove that repository, will I be able to receive regular upgrades to the packages replaced in the future? or will I have to do something else for that?

BTW, VLC seems to work for me, I haven't tried any other media players.
