[PATCH] [autoaudiosink] audio://-URI support
Last modified: 2011-03-14 20:38:13 UTC
Attached is a patch which adds uri-support to alsasrc. For now it gives no errors, but blocks my testing app as soon as the status is set to _PLAYING. Maybe someone could have a look about it. I'm not yet very familiar with how gstreamer works.

This patch adds a URI interface to alsa, which is good, but it's not the intended way of doing this. The intended way is to have a bin implementing this URI interface (audio://), and have it select the best audio input/output (ALSA, OSS, ESD, Sunaudio, ...) based on the system. Benjamin and I mentioned this on IRC... This is a good start, but it's not what we'd like to see in gst-plugins. ;).
Julian, I've recently added a 'autoaudiosink' plugin to CVS (in gst-plugins/gst/autodetect/). Can you create a autoaudiosrc from that and implement the URI interface in there? I'll accept that patch.
autoaudio{src,sink} seem good to me. Not sure how the URI stuff is useful in this context. Closing as OBSOLETE. Feel free ot re-open if you think this is still of interest.
