Hi folks,
Im an audio newbies running gentoo-1.4
Im using the alsa drivers for my SBLive5.1 card and when I run
gstreamer-properties (version gstreamer-0.6.1-r1) the only setting that
will produce sound output is OSS ..its kind of irritating to know that
all of my gnome apps that use gstreamer are feeding the sound to OSS
instead of alsa or jack both of which are in the menulist of options for
gstreamer-properties.
So basically I was wondering if I am suppost to do something special to
make gstreamer work with AlSA or JACK.. obviousely there must be some
sort of gotcha somewhere that Im not aware of.
Thanks. Any {help|info|guidance} would be greatly appreciated.

"Side note: gstreamer's alsa support is not fully done yet. To prevent
a crash
once you try and play something, use gconf-editor or similar to set the
/system/gstreamer/defaults/audiosink parameter to "osssink" instead of
"alsasink" and use the OSS compatibility libraries. This tidbit also
comes from
Colin, and given the fact I use alsa, it solves a crashing issue I was
having
with rhythmbox for a while."

Ok so if gstreamers Alsa support is a bit funky at the moment, then what
about jack? Is it a gstreamer core problem that it cant work with
jacksink, or is it something to do with the gentoo gstreamer ebuild?
If its gentoo then we can fix the ebuild somehow but if not then I guess
we cross our fingers and wait for the next version.

What version of jack are you using? Jack-cvs hasn't been well recently.
You are probably better off using the latest
media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit. My only experience with
gstreamer has been net-rhythmbox which is still very flakey and not
going to get committed until i can get something more stable together.

If i have time tonight or tomorrow i'll take a look at this on my
machine. If it's an ebuild problem i'll commit something (I'm not the
maintainer for gstreamer but i'm not sure there currently is one...)

I was using jack-cvs, but after your comment I got rid of that and
emerged jack-audio-connection-kit which says that it is version 0.61.0
I then re-emerged gstreamer, and re-ran gst-register-0.6 (dont think
that really apply's to my prob but doesnt hurt to try) and then started
jack with: jackd -a -R -d alsa -d hw:0 -p 512 -r 44100 -D
I then ran gstreamer-properties and tested the jacksink but it still
fails saying:Failed to construct test pipeline for 'Jack
Here is my output from gstreamer-properties after testing jacksink:
# gstreamer-properties
INFO (26771: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.6.1
INFO (26771: 0) CPU features: (c1c7fbff) MMX 3DNOW MMXEXT
INFO (26771: 0) registry: loaded user_registry in 0.000273 seconds
(/root/.gstreamer/registry.xml)
INFO (26771: 0) registry: loaded global_registry in 0.664984 seconds
(/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.6/registry.xml)
I was running jack and gstreamer-properties both as root at the same
time.
Thanks again for any help you can give, i love net-rb but it stutters a
bit when resizing windows(others have commented on this too) and I hope
that switching to jacksink will help that a bit, but even if it doesnt I
will still just feel a lot better knowing that the audio of all my gnome
apps is not going to osssink.
