Description Filippo Della Betta 2009-04-08 13:15:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When using udpsink (gst-plugins-good-0.10.14) on Vista, by default (and if you don't provide external fd) it creates socket with AF_INET6 family (line 611 of gstmultiudpsink.c) even if is not requested. When trying to specify host with IPv4 it fails sending ( sendto on line 397 of same file returns SOCKET_ERROR ) since it is already bound on IPv6.

Steps to reproduce:
simply execute
gst-launch audiotestsrc ! udpsink host=1.2.3.4 port=5678

 


Actual results:
no packet are sent to the host

Expected results:
UDP packet sent on host 1.2.3.4

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Probably adding a parameter to force socket binding on IPv4 would be an idea.

Coincidentally, I ran into this same problem yesterday, but on OSX, not on windows.

Perhaps we should allocate two sockets (at least for OSes that require it).
