I've managed to get sound using that (actually
/usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/stereoout.state) with an ogg/vorbis file
in totem and gstreamer on it's own (i.e. gst-launch playbin
uri=file:///root/audio.ogg).

gst-launch is available via the gstreamer-tools package.

BTW video sort of plays with those, as well.
