Description Michal Benes 2005-11-25 12:45:48 UTC 
Launching pipe
gst-launch-0.9 videotestsrc ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! matroskamux ! filesink location=a.mkv
keeps warning about
(gst-launch-0.9:3712): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_segment_set_newsegment:
assertion `segment->format == format' failed
(note that matroska muxerr is seeking extensively)

The same problem can be also seen by running
gst-launch-0.9 sinesrc num-buffers=10 ! flacenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=a.ogg
(note that flac encoder tries to seek at the end of file)

The problem is that basesink initializes basesink->segment in GST_FORMAT_TIME
format. However, filesink expects GST_FORMAT_BYTES segments and basesink refuses
to change its segment format.
