Whoops, my fault. A return character crept into the command. However,
there still seems to be a problem. When I try to play a CD after
having started Goobox form command line, I get the following:

:~$ goobox
  $1 =
  $1 =
  $1 =
  $2 =
  $3 =
  $4 =
  $1 =
  $1 =

(goobox:4610): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_link_many: assertion
`GST_IS_ELEMENT (element_2)' failed
  $1 =
  $1 =
  $1 =
  $2 =
  $3 =
  $4 =
  $1 =
  $1 =

(goobox:4610): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_link_many: assertion
`GST_IS_ELEMENT (element_2)' failed
Segmentation fault

Goobox still crashes. The difference is that before it was when I
started the app. Now it crashes when I try to play a CD. I am not sure
what difference that makes, but I thought it might be important.
