Last modified: 2005-11-30 12:35:58 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. update to wavpack 4.3 from www.wavpack.com 2. try to play a wavpack file with gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=test.wv ! wavpackparse ! wavpackdec ! fakesink, doesn't work (output below) 3. try to re-register all plugins -> the wavpack plugins gets removed from the registry 4. recompilation against 4.3 changes nothing Stack trace: LANG=C LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=test.wv ! wavpackparse ! wavpackdec ! fakesink (gst-launch-0.8:6365): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: how to remove plugins? (gst-launch-0.8:6365): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Factory for `wavpackparse' has no type. This probably means the plugin wasn't found because the registry is broken.

This is (imho) an upstream bug in wavpack 4.3, the library declares a debug variable as extern.
Created attachment 54644 [details] [review] patch for wavpack 4.3 Applying this patch to the wavpack 4.3 source, installing and recompiling gst-plugins works for me.
thanks, this fixed it :) btw, did you look at the other bugreport wrt to wavpack? the -h thing... any ideas?
I've sent the patch to the wavpack developer.
Sounds like a NOTGNOME to me...
