Muine fails to start after freshly being installed on my system.


** (muine:19775): WARNING **: No GConf default audio sink key and

Your audio or gstreamer configuration is broken.  Does audio *sent via
gstreamer* work in other apps?

Used to work fine in amarok, though I've since switched to xine. Haven't touched the config though.

in <0x00085> Muine.PlaylistWindow:SetupPlayer ()
in <0x00188> Muine.PlaylistWindow:.ctor ()
in <0x0034d> Muine.Global:Main (System.String[] args)

An audio player app that can't find any audio probably shouldn't die
like this, but it remains a fatal error, as it can't proceed.

How about a meaningful error message about fixing the conf, and/or starting in a way for it to allow collection management?

Dave
