gstreamer support for gnome sounds
Last modified: 2007-01-12 12:20:00 UTC
Esd is currently required for playing gnome event sounds. People using alsa/dmix usually have esd shut down, but in that case they can't use event sounds. Libgnome should allow using gstreamer instead of esd for playing these.
Created attachment 56393 [details] [review] an initial implementation for gst support in libgnome The patch adds initial support for using gstreamer instead of esd. The gstreamer support is checked at compile time and, if present, overrides esd. This still needs a lot of love - gst initialization is possibly borked, the code doesn't use settings from multimedia systems selector, application can play only one sound at once using this, sample caching is not implemented, and sometimes gstreamer is silent (although no errors are displayed).
Hi Senko, Please see: http://live.gnome.org/GStreamer_2fesd http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/tasks/gnome.html#libgnomeify http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82340 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82341
This either needs work, porting to the current gstreamer version or just discussion on whether this is the right solution at all.
