vorbis plugin problems with rhythmbox
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Sometimes ogg files play but do not produce any sound, or refuse to play at all. Mostly happens after one ogg file finished playing, and the next file is an ogg as well. I can't find a reliable way to reproduce it. The mad plugin works perfectly. It's odd since the vorbis plugin is not recycled in any way, when the stream finished playing the pipeline containing the vorbis element is disposed and a new one is set up. The only bit that is persitent is the main thread element in the monkeymedia mixer, which is just an audiosink and a volume element to which the individual stream bins get hooked up. How to reproduce: Start rhythmbox, load a few ogg files and start playing them.
I was lucky enough to reproduce the problem with trace enabled :) see: http://people.nl.linux.org/~jorn/Files/trace.gz
the trace was not accessible, so i put it on: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/oleevye/trace.gz
works when setting "sync" to TRUE on the osssink, but doesnt look like a real fix to me.
Seems fixed, thanks!
