Description Juha Heljoranta 2005-10-01 06:48:34 UTC

gstreamer adds following gconf after merging:
/system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink = osssink

This doesn't work on alsa-only systems.

It would be nice to have alsa and esd use flags for gstreamer to define default
audio sink.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 gad.kadosh 2006-01-16 00:19:58 UTC

In gst-plugins-0.8* there was USE flags for alsa, oss and esd which added PDEPENDs on the relevant ouput plugins. It really seems like gst-plugins-base should do the same.

Comment 2 gad.kadosh 2006-01-18 02:57:25 UTC

Not directly related, but a problem of the same kind, is that nothing pulls gst-plugins-good, which apparently is essential to pretty much playing anything. There's no point in pulling gst-plugins-ugly and not -good. There actually no reason even to pull -mad or any other specific plugin because they hardly work without -good.

default here is autoaudiosink in gst 0.10, reopen if this is still an issue with latest in tree.
