I'm guessing that is missing in your tree? Nah, I traced the problem to the configure step in gst-plugins-good. Somehow my version of pulseaudio isn't detected. Not sure what info the script relies on, it thinks I am based on 0.9.19 when I am using git master. I forced support for pulse1.0 it by hand in config.h and found the same problem with the headset. Trying to figure out the differences with my initial patches. there must be a step missing.
