I just checked my GStreamer settings, and they are correct; here is a
transcript of the configuration window for gstreamer-properties:

==================================
Default Output

  Plugin: PulseAudio Sound Server
  Device: Internal Audio Analog Surround 5.1
  Pipeline: [can't read, runs off the screen and window won't resize]
==================================

The Input section is blank, and I never use the input so it doesn't matter.

I still have to do the scroll-up/scroll-down trickery every time I start
a stream in Banshee or Rhythmbox.
