This usually happens when it can't find a gstreamer plugin when creating 
a project. The most common cause of this, and the most likely in this 
situation is that it can't find alsasink. Make a find and replace for 
whatever Sun Audio element gstreamer uses would make it work. We're 
gonna make it use autoaudiosink soon anyways.

Of course this is to be expected. I have no idea what we would use in 
replace of HAL on Solaris, or how we would get Jokosher to know what to 
use instead of alsasrc. Is there an autoaudiosrc?
