Description Asa Zernik 2007-11-23 04:41:10 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Music plays from the CD fine, and plays fine when copied onto the computer in OGG format. However, when AAC format is selected in the preferences dialog, song does not play back correctly - it consists of the song, split into about 100 millisecond segments, spaced with about 700 milliseconds of silence. When the folder with the m4a files is viewed, the desktop browser sees them as MPEG-4 VIDEO files. Song lengths are about 4-5 times longer than they should be.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In "Preferences", set "CD output format" to AAC
2. Copy a CD.
3. Attempt to play.


Actual results:
The resulting files do not play correctly, in the manner described above.

Expected results:
The songs would play normally.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

SJ constructs pipelines based on what gnome-media says, so re-assigning to the profile component.
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2007-12-19 13:19:40 UTC
The profiles are correct and work for 0.8. I think the gstreamer muxer or encoder got broken.

works fine with head of all.

Asa, could you tell us which version of gstreamer/gst-plugins-*/gst-ffmpeg you have on your system ?
Comment 4 Asa Zernik 2007-12-27 17:52:46 UTC
I've got gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, version 0.10.2-3ubuntu1~upure64

Gst-plugins is: 

"base": 0.10.14-1ubuntu3
"good": 0.10.6-0ubuntu4
"bad": 0.10.5-1
"reallybad": 0.10.5-5ubuntu1~upure64
"ugly": 0.10.6-0ubuntu2

Pure gstreamer is:

alsa: 0.10.14-1ubuntu3
esd: 0.10.6.0ubuntu4
gl: 0.10.5-4ubuntu1

Sorry if I went a bit overboard with that; I just don't know which parts are really relevant.
Comment 5 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2008-06-20 11:11:03 UTC
Should work fine in current version of GStreamer.
