Check permissions of your home directory and the ~/.config/pulse
directory:

PulseList:
 Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied
 No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.


You could also try deleting the pulse config dir to refresh it:
rm -r ~/.config/pulse
pulseaudio -k

Title:
  Failed to create GStreamer element; check your installation

Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.10  on 64 bit

  while running Rythmbox I get error "Failed to create GStreamer
  element; check your installation"

  No audio.

  I did check in sound configuration and I do get test sound out of
  speakers.

  I uninstalled and installed Rhythmbox and error persists.
  No sound from Bandhee ether.

  I had installed and uninstalled at some point Rydel.  Might be the problem?
