http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15825 :

"Side note: gstreamer's alsa support is not fully done yet. To prevent 
a crash
once you try and play something, use gconf-editor or similar to set the
/system/gstreamer/defaults/audiosink parameter to "osssink" instead of
"alsasink" and use the OSS compatibility libraries.  This tidbit also 
comes from
Colin, and given the fact I use alsa, it solves a crashing issue I was 
having
with rhythmbox for a while."
