Description Ghee Teo 2003-08-06 17:22:49 UTC 
I was told by BBB that spider should figure all the content of the file
automatically. I.e. one can simply do

gst-launch filesrc location=<file> ! spider ! osssink

But this paricular file I have can't be decipher.

So sumit this bug and attach audio file later.

Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2003-08-06 17:45:10 UTC 
For clarity: the correct pipeline is "filesrc ! auparse ! alawdec !
osssink".

I fixed a typefinding bug (audio/au instead of audio/x-au as
mimetype). Currently, spider doesn't detect that it needs alawdec in
between auparse (detected) and osssink.

filesrc ! spider ! alawdec ! osssink works.
Comment 3 Benjamin Otte (Company) 2003-08-07 07:55:24 UTC 
That's because spider is stupid.
It assumes it can plug auparse and osssink directly (since their caps
are compatible) and does that, which is wrong.

Same thing happens when you try to play an mp3-in-wav file with spider.
I think that it's not easy to fix, unfortunately.
