Zhao & Stefan,
Thank you both, for your responses.
I didnt' quite understand what you meant. As I understand caps negotiation,
there should be no problem with the negotiation process if the adecoder sink
pad (that feeds into the adecoder element) caps has an overlap with the
filesrc src pad (that takes the data read from the file, by the filesrc
element). And since the filesrc src pad is 'ANY', there should be an overlap
always and therefore, there should be no problem. I'm not sure if that
understanding is correct.
Here's the entire adecoder caps values (obtained by using the command
"gst-inspect-0.10 adecoder" on the command line) :
Pad Templates:
SRC template: 'src'
Availability: Always
Capabilities:
audio/x-raw-int
endianness: 1234
signed: true
width: 16
depth: 16
rate: { 8000, 11025, 12000, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000,
44100, 48000 }
channels: [ 1, 2 ]
SINK template: 'sink'
Availability: Always
Capabilities:
audio/mpeg
mpegversion: { 1, 2, 4 }
layer: { 1, 2, 3 }
audio/x-wma
wmaversion: { 1, 2, 3 }
rate: { 8000, 11025, 12000, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000,
44100, 48000 }
channels: [ 1, 2 ]
Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect or if there could be
some other problem.
Thanks.
Vijay
