Description Scott Zawalski 2004-02-16 06:34:34 UTC 
Whenever I try to play audio through gstreamer via the command-line or any
program that interfaces with it, I either get no sound at all or static.

The following commands produce static: 

/opt/gnome2/bin/gst-launch gnomevfssrc location=/Side.ogg ! volume !
audioconvert ! esdsink

or change esdsink to ossink.

I am using a Sound Blaster Live on the 2.6.1 kernel with alsa as the sound
drivers. This is not format specific mp3s suffer from the same static
sound. This is CVS Gstreamer checked out as of ~22:00 Pacific time
Comment 1 David Schleef 2004-02-17 23:48:53 UTC 
What happens when you run 'gst-launch sinesrc ! audioconvert !
osssink' or 'sinesrc ! osssink'?
Comment 2 Scott Zawalski 2004-02-18 06:17:05 UTC 
When I run each command they both have the same effect of a variable
beeping noise sounding like morsecode, but very very fast. Not a
continous beep like I have heard it should be.

Comment 3 David Schleef 2004-02-19 02:19:59 UTC 
Oops, sinesrc was broken.  Could you update CVS and try sinesrc !
osssink again?
Comment 4 Scott Zawalski 2004-02-19 05:13:13 UTC 
Just updated CVS, same issue. No other compile errors or anything. If
there is any more information I can provide you with let me know.
Comment 5 Scott Zawalski 2004-02-21 03:44:20 UTC 
Updated to latest CVS, problem is now fixed
Comment 6 Scott Zawalski 2004-02-21 18:38:50 UTC 
Sorry I guess I got excited about the gst-launch playing a sine wave.
Apparently the first issue is still an issue.

When I do the following: 

 /opt/gnome2/bin/gst-launch gnomevfssrc location=/mnt/more/Mp3\
Sinles/The_White_Stripes_-_Elephant_-_01_-_Seven_Nation_Army.mp3 !
volume ! osssink

with osssink or esdsink I get static, however 

gst-launch sinesrc ! audioconvert ! osssink 

which didn't work before now works perfectly.
Comment 7 Thomas Vander Stichele 2004-02-24 13:20:38 UTC 
you forgot a decoder, like "mad" :)

can you try again with that ?
Comment 8 Thomas Vander Stichele 2004-02-24 14:29:19 UTC 
looking at it again, you didn't have a decoder in your first example
either, so I'm pretty sure this isn't an actual bug.
Comment 9 Ronald Bultje 2004-02-24 17:04:32 UTC 
I agree with Thomas, this isn't a bug...
