Bug Description
My soundcard was owned by root, not by the current user.
Playing songs skipped through them really quickly. Video stands still on the first frame, and I can't move in it.
Only on the console do I see errors; there are uncaught GStreamer error messages from the bus. Elisa should catch them and tell the user something, so he has a chance at fixing the problem.

Tested on Ubuntu Jaunty with the latest Moovida (chmod g-rw /dev/snd/*).
Some videos (containing an audio stream) play in a very choppy way, some don't play at all.
Music obviously doesn't play but Moovida doesn't skip through the tracks, it just remains stuck at the beginning of the track.
However I can't see any GStreamer error messages in the console. Trying with playbin2 in gst-launch, I can see some warning related to the audiosink: "error writing data".
So Moovida could probably catch those errors and display some information to the user.
