I just erased a huge rant relating to trying to use a 32-bit gstreamer on a 64-bit Linux installation. I'll just say this: it doesn't work and it will never work. At this point any streaming through the client at all brings it down like a sack of bricks the moment it is activated.
I can't build my own client though I would love to. TYVM for the OpenAL sound-- I can finally use system sound and viewer sound at the same time. For the first time ever, in fact, and it's awesome! However, streaming just isn't going to happen. I would like to remove the gstreamer dependency completely and be allowed to choose my own streaming backend... for example, OpenAL / Jack / ?? / ALSA for system sounds and voice, gstreamer / xine / ?? / Phonon for streaming media. Has anyone here ever successfully compiled a 64-bit Linux client on Ubuntu 8.10? How? I'll bet that for the meantime, being able to do that will go a looooong way toward being able to get gstreamer to work until I can see about adding a backend switch. --GC _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/SLDev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
