GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 111819
gnome-sound-recorder doesn't rewind after playback
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
1/ Play a file and wait until it is completely played (ie gsr goes back to "PAUSED" state 2/ Press "Play" button => file doesn't play anymore. This is because gsr is still in PAUSED state and play stream is at the end of the stream. Possible solution : go back to "READY" state when playback is finished. I think it would also released "/dev/dsp" when playback is finished (it is not the case ATM), but I'm not 100% sure (I don't know gst internal too much yet..).
Still valid with gnome-media 2.3.5. Reassigning to gnome-media maintainer alias.
One more issuse is, 1. Open gnome-sound-properties 2. Enable sound server startup 3. Goto the "Sound Events" tab 4. Play any wav file there, the wav is played properly 5. Open sound recorder and play a wav file. the wav file is played properly 6. Goto gnome-sound-properties ("Sound Events" tab) 7. Play any wav file, the file will not be played. 8. We need to close sound-recorder in order to play from gnome-sound-properties 9. Same thing happens with esdplay also. 10. esdplay will not play wav files, when sound-recorder has finished playing a wav file and still open. I guess gnome-sound-recorder is holds the audio device even after playing. Will be nice to fix the problem asap. Thanks.
Oops Sorry, I don't know how the summary got disappeared, adding it again.
I think these two are really saying the same thing - GSR should tear down everything when it is not playing. I guess I still think that it is the responsiblity of ESD to handle this case - where multiple people would like to access the sound. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 111820 ***
