Hello, gst-plugins-opus-1.8.2 doesn’t provide the opus plugins for gstreamer. However, gst-plugins-opus-1.6.3 still work “the old way“. After some digging it looks that the opus support is now in gst-plugins-base-1.8.2. There came the suggestion to entirely remove gst-plugins-opus-1.8.2, add USE="opus" to gst-plugins-base-1.8.2, and put the remaining plugin libgstopusparse into gst-plugins-bad-1.8.2. Thanks to stkn for that! Greetings, holgersson Reproducible: Always

Reopening, as this should have probably been a conversion of gst-plugins-opus to use GST_ORG_MODULE=gst-plugins-base instead of USE flaggery on main -base. Need to look at that before 1.8 series goes stable. The complex bit is on deciding what to do with the parser bits that remaining in -bad for now. Need to see if that's even useful in any way if it was left behind, etc. So this open bug is a reminder for looking into this.
yup, checked with upstream: <leio> Is opusparse important for opus pipelines, despite being left in -bad for now? <__tim> no <leio> So the glorious Opus codec world doesn't end in Gentoo if I axe opusparse plugin from -bad completely for now? <__tim> it doesn't, no <leio> now beyond packaging, what does it do then? :) <__tim> I think it's supposed to parse the test streams which are framed slightly differently, but last I checked it didn't match the spec for those, so it's all a bit puzzling really So we should forget about the gst-plugins-bad ext/opus/, have gst-plugins-opus GST_ORG_MODULE=gst-plugins-base and kill it from -base. And then stable that, not this moving around.
If you got rid of gst-plugins-opus based on the blockers and whatnot before, you should install it again to have opus decoder and encoder. commit 9ff9335c2b024f4c49f20c9ddb8066dd8a661f45 Author: Mart Raudsepp <leio@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Sep 25 22:29:08 2016 +0300 media-plugins/gst-plugins-opus: Properly split again ... instead of building as part of gst-plugins-base[opus]. This makes gst-plugins-opus a split of -base instead of -bad as it was moved from -base to -bad with some leftovers in -bad. The ext/opus/ leftover part in gst-plugins-bad is not necessary for anything and we can safely not package that at all. This should give a nicer upgrade path for stable opus plugin users.
