Description Diego González 2005-11-25 02:16:19 UTC 
i have gst-ffmpeg, gst-plugins-*, gstreamer and totem compiled from today, totem
can play de video just fine, but not the audio. mplayer which also used ffmpeg
has no problems.

mplayer says regarding to the sound: 
Selected audio codec: [a52] afm:liba52 (AC3-liba52)

totem says:
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-ac3, rate=(int)48000, channels=(int)6
Comment 1 Michael Smith 2005-11-25 17:38:26 UTC 
This looks like you don't have an AC3 decoder installed; the a52dec plugin comes
from gst-plugins-ugly, and relies on liba52. Do you have liba52 and the
development packages for it installed?
Comment 2 Diego González 2005-11-26 01:41:00 UTC 
i did not, but i just installed them, runned totem and the message is:
** Message: don't know how to handle audio/x-ac3, rate=(int)48000, channels=(int)6
the same.

diego@calisto:/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.9$ ls -al libgsta5*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  1243 Nov 26 02:38 libgsta52dec.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 25941 Nov 26 02:38 libgsta52dec.so
Comment 3 Jan Schmidt 2005-11-26 10:16:27 UTC 
Is this CVS head of all the packages? 

Did you compile totem using --enable-gstreamer=0.9?

Run ldd /usr/bin/totem | grep gstreamer and check that it's linked against
libgstreamer-0.9. gstreamer-0.9 and gstreamer0.8 are parallel installable, but
cannot use each other's plugins.
Comment 4 Diego González 2005-11-26 21:03:46 UTC 
ok, that was the problem, it was compiled against gstreamer-0.8. Thanks a lot.
Comment 5 Michael Smith 2005-11-27 00:00:28 UTC 
Closing; this was user error in installation.
