57 I get the same error but I've never used the built-in media player so I
58 don't know if that's a problem or not.
59
60 I have two versions of gstreamer and all of its plugins, which caused me
61 some problems with rhythmbox a few months ago. I had to emerge all of the
62 newest versions of the plugins to match the newer gstreamer. I don't know
63 which version of gstreamer libreoffice is using.
64
65 BTW I just upgraded lo to 4.0.1.2 and no one has sent me any power-point
66 files recently so I really don't know yet if they would play properly or
67 not.
