[csw-users] Latest Gaim problem

[Torrey McMahon]

They made gstreamer the default though you can make a couple of changes 
in the preferences panel. I think ESD was the one that was recently 
removed. (Again, I can't check.)

If someone that is seeing the gstreamer issue could run the commands 
below *before* they run gaim it would help to figure out whats going on.
