So, ive ran xfce for a while, finaly decided to emerge gnome, wich took a *While*

Most of the stuff run fine, but one thing is not working, when i run "gnome-volume-control" i get errors spewed out in the terminal (if i run it from there) + an additional error dialog, saying something about not beeing able to find some volume handling elements and or devices.

The error that i get is :

What USE flags do you have? What USE flags was gstreamer compiled with? In your kernel are you using ALSA/OSS or what?

I would try explicitly setting 'alsa' (assuming that's what you're using and you haven't already), then do emerge -av gstreamer, take a look at what it wants to do, and try reinstalling. I bet that gstreamer/gnome was installed without some necessary USE flag set. But that's just a guess.

I belive that gnome and gstreamer was built with these flags... meaning i cant remember changing them.

run gst-register-0.8 or gst-register-0.6 and select the appropriate sinks in Preferences->"Multimedia Systems Selector"

hmm one thing that i have found out, after re-emerging gstreamer and gst-plugins is that, all these sinks + alot of other plugins aint built.
I see lots of "checking for ...." ".. not built" .. when emerging gst-plugins.

So thats probably why i cant set any in the gst config thingie.

but Why aint those sinks/plugins built, thats something im wondering...
i cant see no other errors accept them saying "checking for..." "... not built : ..."

ideas?

I managed to fix this problem by copying the contents of /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10 to /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10 and vice-versa. I also symlinked /usr/bin/gst-inspect-0.10 to /usr/bin/gst-inspect. I rebooted gnome and it worked perfectly. Not sure why they are in the wrong spots, and it would be much nicer to have a working ebuild rather than this ugly hack, but this will get your sound back if you were stuck like me.
