After messing around for a while I managed to build gstreamer and gconf without most gnome stuff (gconf being the obvious exception, and it needs ORBIT for some reason). > > Is there a way to configure gstreamer on a modern gnome-free system, > > possibly using a common tool such as a text editor? > > you are not configuring gstreamer as much as system properties which > gstreamer happens to look up. i know of no way to do this with a text > editor, and just as it used to be that you could screw up your system > by editing the windows registry with a text editor, i suspect you'd > run into the same issue if you tried that with the configuration > information normally controlled by gconftool and friends. It's an xml format so it should be possible to edit it, but I managed to build and install a reasonably stripped down version of gconf. gconftool-2 is also not easy to handle, the manpage is incomplete and out of date. I'd appreciate it if you could add the following lines to your jack FAQ: gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/musicaudiosink ["jackaudiosink buffer-time=2000000"] --type=list --list-type=string gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/audiosink ["jackaudiosink buffer-time=2000000"] --type=list --list-typ e=string Those lines seem to work in case of smasher at least, but sadly not for firefox (ogg playback). Thanks, this is a step closer to usable gstreamer. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
