That means you managed to install the gst-plugins-base libraries without
installing the base plugins. Looks like some packaging dependendy
problems.

Btw. wavpack is not WAV. wavpack is a lossless but compressing audio
codec, similar to FLAC. WAV "encoding" is done by wavenc.

This is a known bug we need to address at some point; unfortunately this
is a bit tricky (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659432 or
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674736) It's ok with VLC as
it does the right thing (retry without seeking).

Are you sure that the headphone thing is the correct pulse source?

I've got something like

mypulseaudiosink-title=Audio on @HOSTNAME@
mypulseaudiosink-mime=audio/L16;rate=44100;channels=2
mypulseaudiosink-launch=pulsesrc device=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor

in my rygel.conf
