Just wanted to report that the ebuild worked without any problems. I wasn't able to get any sound support from the program, so I could neither record nor playback anything. It didn't crash or report any error, though.

I've tried playing back the files from the command-line with gst-launch-0.8, so gstreamer seems to work. It is configured via gstreamer-properties to use ALSA by default. Other gstreamer apps, like totem, work without problems.

Hi! I installed marlin, but it doesn't seem to work so well. it runs OK but I couldn't record - it just doesn't do anything. I could open one WAV file but that's about it...
In the terminal I get many warnings from gstreamer, glib-gobject and libmarlin.

The author of marlin has been offline for a few months, recent versions of gstreamer or gst-plugins may have broken some assumptions marlin uses.  Until a new version of marlin comes out, its best not in portage.

Marking as later for comment #5. Feel free to reopen when new versions are available.

[Comment 7 gad.kadosh 2005-07-12 08:21:12 UTC]

Looks like there's a new version of marlin out - 0.8

and another 0.9 has just been released.

However it depends on unstable nautilus-cd-burner (2.11.x)
