Subject: totem failed with "Failed to create dbus proxy"

Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:41:32 +0800

Package: totem
Version: 2.28.2-1
Severity: important

when I use totem to play a audio or video file, I get the following information:

** (totem:13845): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
** Message: Error: Could not get/set settings from/on resource.

Unable to set hw params for playback: Invalid argument

The audio file or video files are not played. 

Amarok can play audio files correctly,

I added "blacklist snd_pcsp" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and
regerated the initrd image.

Currently totem works correctly.

Pls close this bug, thanks.

It indeed looked like a wrong ALSA configuration to begin with, thanks
for confirming.
