GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 520597
GStreamer doesn't work in gnome-games
Last modified: 2008-05-12 12:22:21 UTC
I don't really understand why the default sound library used in gnome-games is sdl_mixer. We're trying to have a consistent platform, and gstreamer should be used if possible. Can we change the default here? AC_MSG_CHECKING([for which sound library to use]) AC_ARG_WITH([sound], [AS_HELP_STRING([--with-sound=gstreamer|sdl_mixer (default: sdl_mixer)])], [with_sound="$withval"], [with_sound=sdl_mixer]) AC_MSG_RESULT([$with_sound])
The GStreamer support doesn't work, see bug #507131 - "GStreamer does not play short ogg sounds". The GStreamer developers haven't shown much interest in helping out either...
Re-assigning to new default owner.
This should really be fixed in bug #507131. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 507131 ***
