Gstreamer generate an error
Last modified: 2009-05-31 22:55:53 UTC
Gstreamer blocks the execution of Quodlibet 2.0. Steps to reproduce : 1. Launch scilab(4.1.2-r1) 2. Open scicos 3. Create any signal 4. Output it on /dev/audio 5. Wait or stop the noise (><) 6. Open quodlibet(2.0) 7. Play a tune It doesn't read anything. My guess is that scilab doesn't give /dev/audio away, thus preventing any other program to use it.
You say GStreamer generates an error. So that either is expected behaviour if the audio device is being used by another application (resource busy error), OR you're running into the infamous bad-gconfaudiosink-error-reporting bug. I think the latter is the case. Please re-open if you have information that shows this is not the case, thanks! Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 471364 ***
