A ha, gst-lauch is not re-entrant gst_parse_launch that is Probably not, no. * ensonic puts that on his todo for tomorrow Care to write a patch to add a lock? gst-launch audiotestsrc ! gsmartaudiosink sink-description="alsasink device=plughw:3" <-- hk has quit ("Fui embora") this hangs when it does: gstparse.c(145):gst_parse_launch: parsing pipeline description bin.( alsasink "device=plughw:3" ) a lock wont help ugh. I wonder if you can hit the same issues with gconf sinks? will check tommowrow in detail well, a lock won't help with it not being re-entrant, but it'd help with it not being threadsafe ;-) no, you've got a good point. Also, I doubt this is easily fixab le yes --> elmarco (n=elmarco@ARouen-251-1-83-206.w86-195.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #gstreamer <__tim> who will set those descriptions on gsmartaudiosink in the end? __tim, gnome-multimedia-selector __tim, actually if gsmartmix get widly accepted (once it works) it should be integrated into gnome-media <__tim> basically I'm wondering why it doesn't "just" pull those things from gconf, similar to gconf*sink and if that's a design choice or not __tim, to make it work now, we put it in there, if once does not set this sink-description it uses autoaudiosink <__tim> I guess I should read the wiki page one of these days ;) __tim, we want it to *be* in gconf, so that apps will use it automatially yeah, would be cool to get more feedback as right now thing are not yet cast in stone :) anyway, see you tomorrow <-- ensonic has quit ("Leaving") <-- slomo has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) __tim, can you send me the log please :) Elleo elmarco <__tim> elmarco: what log? __tim, of the discussion with ensonic __tim , I am the student working on gsmartmix __tim, please :)
