That's because you don't have a soundcard assigned to ALSA - which is 
what Gstreamer was telling you earlier, but it's best to check.

Open the Control Centre/Sound & Multimedia/Sound System/Hardware

Select ALSA in Select audio device and click apply. If that doesn't 
work, check your install of alsa-base.
