The sound broke because the gstreamer backend used a module which needed all
sound-data before playback started. This is "only" a problem with sound
streams, so event sounds should still work. The solution to the problem is
probably to use a different gstreamer module, which we will probably have to
write ourselves, or perhaps some changing in the way the code works will do...

Is this the antigrain backend?
