Hey Michael
I think you are right in your assessment since I remeber I kept getting
errors on python packages failing due to missing configuration in python or
something of the sort (sorry it has been some time). Glad to hear that it
got fixed.
By the way have you passed by an error that disables sound with GStreamer.
This happened after an update (not sure which one) so I am trying to track
it down before I file a Bug but it would help if there is any data about
this out there.
