Thanks for you help!

Is there a (set of) configuration parameter(s) I can fiddle with that  
will disable (selected parts of) gstreamer?  That might help to  
narrow the scope of the question.  As noted elsewhere, I'm an old- 
fashioned command-line kinda guy and all this multi-media stuff is  
just so much glitz as far as I'm concerned. So disabling the  
troublesome parts (or the whole thing) is acceptable to me.   
Especially if it lets me get on with other testing activities on the  
OldWorld machine.

I'm (of course) willing and anxious to help get this thing debugged.   
The machine in question is dedicated to Debian testing, so feel free  
to ask me to try anything that you think might help in diagnosing the  
problem.
