I don't hear audio, while there is no error message.

None that I notice. For the following I can hear the test sound (a
long, loud beep).
liviu at debian-liv:~$ gst-launch audiotestsrc ! audioconvert !
audioresample ! alsasink

For the following there is no sound.

In root the test sound also works fine. However, playing the .mp3---as
well as parole and totem---works (I can hear the music), with no
visible difference in the messages:

I tried to re-initialise gstreamer for user by moving
/home/liviu/.gstreamer-0.10
/home/liviu/.gconf/system/gstreamer

to *.bak, but I cannot notice any difference.

Hmm, I wonder whether this can be pin-pointed to (interaction with)
xfce4-volumed. Whenever I start playing a file with Parole, the daemon
displays a notification of volume change. This doesn't happen in root,
since the daemon is not running. I just tried stopping and terminating
the daemon, but again with no success: there will no longer be
notifications of volume change on playback start (in Parole), but the
file will be playing with no sound.
