Hi, I have a question regarding audio resource management using GStreamer, let's consider the following situation: - On a server, an audio stream will be send to a multicast group when needed and only when needed. - On client side it needs to playback the audio stream on a local speaker (using alsasink). Most of the time, the audio stream won't be available on the network, so I would like to not lock the speaker resource (alsasink is locking it). One the audio stream is there, then I will take the speaker resource and lock it. Does GStreamer provide any clean way(s) of doing that? FYI on client side I do not have any hardware mixing capabilities on my audio card. Best regards, Julien Paixao. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
