Osssink and alsasink broken on nforce2 (intel8x0) soundcard
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Launch any gstreamer based sound player or type the followingh line : gst-launch-0.8 gnomevfssrc location=$FILE ! spider ! volume ! (alsasink|osssink) where $FILE is a mp3 or ogg vorbis file 1) With alsasink : the sink will not be found ! Just an error (but others non-gstreamer applications don't seem to found alsa.. it's perhaps my soundcard) 2) With osssink : The CPU will be eaten at 100% (the mouse becomes very slow and key reaction time is about 3 or 4 second on a Athlon 2500XP+ !) It's related to the sink because it doesn't appears with esdsink. It's not related with gnomevfssrc (filesrc has the same result) I've gstreamer 0.8.1 from alioth under debian experimental. I've a Nforce2 MB with CMI9739 chipset. I use a 2.6.5 kernel with ALSA (intel8x0 module) and OSS emulation (not native OSS)
Created attachment 26790 [details] debug output Here's the result of the command : gst-launch-0.8 sinesrc ! osssink --gst-debug=oss\*:5 2> gst_debug.txt During the command, I hear a loudly noise that stop when I hit Ctrl+c
Try current CVS, I believe the alsa issue is fixed. I also have an nforce2 motherboard and use the snd_intel8x0 module. Please let us know your findings.
I just have compiled the kernel 2.6.7 with alsa CVS fixes, but nothings has changed :-(
With Kernel 2.6.8.1 and gstreamer 0.8.2 , the problem is quite different : alsasink : "EXECUTION du tube en cours ... gst-launch-0.8: pcm.c:2094: snd_pcm_wait: l'assertion « err == 1 » a échoué." MP3 and OGG ossink : about twenty times the following line : "(process:24384): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad osssink0:sink returned caps that are not a real subset of its template caps" but then, I've sound and IT WORKS !!!! Since no application seems to be able to use alsa on my system, I consider that gstreamer do his job as it must be and close this bug... Thx all
