 mediaplayer is hardcoded to use a pulseaudio sink.  In SHR (which does not
 use pulseaudio), it should default to an alsasink instead.  The difference
 is a two line patch, which changes this line in playback.c:

 omp_gst_audiosink = gst_element_factory_make("pulsesink", NULL);

 to read "pulsesink" instead of "alsasink".  (See attachment for the error
 message that should change...)

 If you'd like to avoid hardcoding this configuration option, I think you
 can pass NULL in instead of "pulsesink", and gstreamer will attempt to "do
 the right thing", which can be overridden by the user by setting an
 environment variable.

 Then the dependency between it and pulseaudio can be removed from the
 2008.8 package.

 Also, I have been told that mediaplayer works under 2008.8 without
 openmoko-sound-system2 installed.  Consider removing that dependency as
 well.

 Thanks!
