You see? While you might get an answer on this list... you'll probably have better luck on the gstreamer list. (...since you're asking about gst internals.) Most of the folks on LAU are doing pro audio, and gst is generally not well suited for pro audio. -gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
