Package: gstreamer0.10-alsa Version: 0.10.5-1 Severity: normal
gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=file.mp3 ! mad ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink does not work if the file has a sample rate that is not directly supported by the sound device (a Logitech USB headset in my case). The files I could reproduce this with have sample rates of 16KHz and 32KHz. File type does not matter (I tried mp3 and wav). Everything starts correctly, but after a (short) while, often triggered by unrelated CPU activity, sound output stops, CPU usage of gst-launch climbs to 99% and gst-launch exits some time after. No errors are shown. This does not happen with libasound2 1.0.10, so alsa might be the culprit, but I can only reproduce this with gst-launch and gstreamer based audio players. I can not reproduce this with aplay or alsa-player. I use kernel 2.6.16-rc4 As a workaround, I set the audiosink in gconf to "audioconvert ! audioresample ! audio/x-raw-int, rate=22050 ! alsasink". (22050 is directly supported by the device). This works, butuses about 20% CPU here, so it is not really acceptable in the long term. Contact me if there is anything I can try to help debug this.
