Description Lionel Dricot 2004-04-18 19:51:52 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)

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 :-(
Comment 4 Lionel Dricot 2004-08-16 16:08:22 UTC
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
