pulsesrc/sink fail
Last modified: 2008-12-09 18:56:49 UTC
Please describe the problem: Until recently (I noticed it last week), I was able to use pulsesrc and pulsesink to stream 6 channel audio. Now, this fails (both as a launch line and a C-app) with the msg: ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstPulseSrc:pulsesrc0: Failed to connect stream: No such entity Steps to reproduce: gst-launch pulsesrc device=plughw:0 ! audio/x-raw-int, channels=6 ! pulsesink device=plughw:0 Actual results: Gstreamer quits with ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstPulseSrc:pulsesrc0: Failed to connect stream: No such entity Expected results: I would expect it o be the same as : gst-launch alsasrc device=plughw:0 ! audio/x-raw-int, channels=6 ! alsasink device=plughw:0 Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Could you check if pulseaudio runs and that paplay (pulseaudio-utils package in Debian/Ubuntu) can play anything?
/usr/bin/pulseaudio is running, and paplay does work. However, when I try paplay -d plughw:0 impulse.wav I get that same error: Stream errror: No such entity
This is a pulseaudio problem then, closing as NOTGNOME.
