DetailsRunning a curent uptodate Gnome desktop, the latest version of the gst-plugins 0.8.9-1 has resulted in the following problems:
*totem doesn't know how to handle almost every video file format I try throwing at it. Problem did not exist before. *rhythmbox using alsasink suffers sound echoing, clipping and distorition. Can not use osssink (oss device could not be probed correctly) even though under the multimedia system selector I have no issues with testing. Have tried other sound players with no problems. My hardware is a Hoontech DSP24 C-Port (ICE1712 driver) and only this revision of the plugins has given me an issue under aslasink. I am running udev 057-1 and HAL 0.4.8-1 with only current and extra repositories enabled for Pacman. |

To play dvd, you need various plugin packages:
- gst-plugins-dvd (to read DVD)
- gst-plugins-a52dec (for DVD sound)
- gst-plugins-mpeg2dec (for DVD video)
Installing gst-ffmpeg could also help a lot.
About the robot sounds: saw the problem on the forum, seems either our alsa is fucked, or the gstreamer plugin is broken. A GStreamer developer told me that Fedora rolled back an alsa release because of problems with other pieces of software.
Edit:
If you have alsa working, I would recommend to load the snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss modules and use the OSS emulation provided by these modules.
I will have to a query to see if I have all of the above listed gst-plugins you have mentioned for DVD but that I can not now read Divx and WMA files when before they were working fine. Must be some major changes under GStreamers hood for the plugins to cause such headache. Also runing the previous released kernel as I can not for the life of me get the Nvidia Driver to install under the latest release. The Nvidia module does not get created and hence can't be loaded up so I rolled back to the previous standard working kernel. Happy days in Linux land.
BTW ALSA works fine with non gstreamer apps i.e. UT2004/Doom3, xmms, and some of the KDE multimedia programs.
About the crappy alsa sounds: I have a hardware mixing soundcard myself (SBLive 1024, yay), I cannot reproduce the crappy robotsounds with the alsa output. Are you using dmix?
Not using dmix, just my up till now trusty ICE1712 card (Hoontech DSP24 C-Port). I have never had an issue with robot sounds before except with dmix. I wonder if there is a dmix being utilised with and alsa upgrade?> But then why would all my other non gstreamer based audio be fine?
Wierd
Been there tried that. Fact is that gst-plugins under Arch Linux for me are screwed. I have the same hardware running fine with Ubuntu 5.04 but for some reason ALSA and gstreamer are a PIA with Arch.
I'm getting rid of my audio hardware and going for an Echo Gina3G instead which will be fine for all my home studio needs. Sick and tired of the STAudio DSP24 C-Port. It has been nothing but a sh1t to deal with under any OS since I bought it. Windows support is crap.
