Description Miguel Angel 2004-09-27 01:55:11 UTC

I have an athlon with nforce2 chipset running suse 9.1 (kernel 2.6.5) 
When trying to run gstreamer with alsasink i get a floating point exception. 
osssink runs fine. 
Other apps run fine with alsa. 
 
gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=file.{mp3|ogg} ! spider ! volume ! alsasink 
RUNNING pipeline ...

Comment 3 Sven 2004-09-28 15:36:08 UTC

i had a similar problem with gstreamer and alsasink as output, what solved this
problem for me was setting the Default Sink to Output: Custom & pipeline:
"alsasink device=output" in gstreamer-properties. With Output: ALSA
gstreamer-properties crashes with the message "gstreamer-properties: pcm.c:2094:
snd_pcm_wait: Assertion `err == 1' failed."

Comment 4 Miguel Angel 2004-09-28 17:41:30 UTC

If I use the "device=hw:0,0" property I get another kind of error 
 
miguel@linux:~> gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=file.ogg ! spider ! volume ! 
alsasink device=hw:0,0

Comment 5 Ronald Bultje 2004-09-29 09:00:14 UTC

That's a negotiation error, and you'd expect that. Use audioscale and
audioconvert in between:

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=file.ogg ! spider ! audioconvert ! audioscale !
volume ! alsasink device=hw:0,0

Comment 6 Miguel Angel 2004-09-29 14:18:44 UTC

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=file.ogg ! spider ! audioconvert ! 
audioscale ! volume ! alsasink device=hw:0,0 
 
That works fine! 
Using "device=default" still segfaults.
