Comment 29 for bug 191027

Definitely PulseAudio and/or ALSA, not Totem.

I'll add to Luke's suggestions for easier debugging:

1) The specific two items of import from alsa-info.sh output are a) `lspci -nv|grep -A1 040[13]', and b) the AC'97 or HDA codec spew. If you have firewire or usb audio, things are less trivial.
2) There are essentially two scenarios being tested: a) default Ubuntu Hardy configuration (using PulseAudio as the default GStreamer audio sink), b) modified Ubuntu Hardy configuration (using ALSA as the default GSt audio sink).

For 2a), you will need to use a PulseAudio client, e.g., `paplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'.
For 2b), you may try `pasuspender -- aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav'.

3) To use `pulseaudio -vv', you will first need to `pkill pulseaudio' from within a GNOME session.
