[Andreas Henriksson]

Hi Ben Finney!

Thanks for your bug report.

Fwiw, sound-juicer starts without problems for me.

This error message is printed when initializing the giosink gstreamer (0.10)
element fails.

This gstreamer element should be part of gstreamer0.10-plugins-base which
according to the meta-information in your bug report you seem to have
the same version of as I do on my system.

Could you try some of the workarounds mentioned in misc hits when
googling for sound-juicer and the error message?
For example the one in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sound-juicer/+bug/1062332

Please report back if you try any workarounds and if they
made any difference on this issue. Hopefully this will help narrow down
what could be causing this problem for you!
