Description Tanmay Ambre 2012-06-19 15:34:21 UTC 
On Windows XP SP3 machine. Using USB headsets. If the device is unplugged code gets stuck at 
gstdirectsoundsink.c@
gst_directsound_sink_write @
goto calculate_freesize;

The program goes in an infinite loop.

Any attempt to shutdown the pipeline using gst_element_set_state(pipe,GST_STATE_NULL) is stuck.

How to reproduce:
Prerequisite: Windows XP service pack 3, USB sound output device as primary device.
1. Create a pipeline playing audio where sink element is directsoundsink.
2. Play the pipeline.
3. Unplug the USB

Result: The pipeline is stuck.
Setting pipeline to NULL doesn't work.

No Problem on Windows 7.

It should probably check if the free size in the directsound ringbuffer increases over time, and if it doesn't for some time just abort.
