For the record: Edgy's version caches the registered plugins and their ranks in ~/.gstreamer-0.10/registry*.xml, thus the registration functions are not even called if it's cached and the dynamic rank registration does not become active.

Clean solution: Subclass a new ltspesdsink with a high rank and leave the esdsink with a static lower rank. Mostly copy&paste work, but a bit intrusive.

Hack solution: Remove the cache in an edubuntu ltsp session script.

a script like:

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/80_ltsp-sound

containing

#!bin/sh
test $LTSP_CLIENT || rm /.gstreamer-0.10/registry*.xml

would do it imho

We will not do the clean solution for edgy.

We will go with the hack:

  test -z "$LTSP_CLIENT" || rm $HOME/.gstreamer-0.10/registry.*.xml

Should be fixed in feisty now.
