Ok, perhaps I wasn't clear enough with my instructions in my last comment.

1. Go to http://www.themuso.id.au/ubuntu/alsa and download the packages that are relevant to your architecture. So if you are running amd64, you would download libasound2 and libasound2-plugins for amd64 (if you use libasound2-plugins). If you also use ia32-libs/32-bit applications, you also want to download lib32asound2 for amd64. For i386, you only want libasound2 and libasound2-plugins, lib64asound2 as far as I am aware has no real use by users on i386.
2. Install these packages from the command line, using "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb" where packagename is the filename of the deb package you just downloaded.
3. Log out and back into your desktop, making sure pulseaudio is enabled, and set as the output in the gnome sound properties.
4. Test whether playback of audio works in your preferred gstreamer application, rhythmbox, totem, etc.
5. Please reply to this bug stating whether it did, or did not work for you.

Once I have feedback from a few people, I can then make another set of packages with more fixes from 1.0,16, and we will repeat the above steps, until we can identify the fix that is needed for this bug.

Plesae feel free to reply if you have any questions.
