Hey Georg,
I have updated my to raspios since last time : Debian GNU/Linux 11
(bullseye).
It comes with :
- pulseaudio 14.2
- GStreamer 1.18.4
Is it also too old ?
I was hoping to avoid installing pulseaudio from source.
If so, I will give it a try...

Well, 14.2 is at least not completely out of date. Nevertheless I would try
current git. What I wonder about is that the problem only occurs with a
second null sink. Are you sure about that? The two null sinks should not
interact at all. Maybe with the second null sink the problem occurs only
later?
I can understand that there is an issue, because the system time and sound
card time are normally different. So if the source for example (from a
system
time perspective) delivers samples at 48003 Hz while the samples are played
with 48000 Hz you will have three samples left per second which pile up
pretty fast. module-loopback has mechanisms to deal with the rate difference
between source and sink. Maybe you can try to use a loopback from the alsa
source to a null-sink and then use the monitor of that null sink in your
first
gst-launch command instead of using the alsa source directly.
Do you see increasing latency before the sound gets choppy?

Hello,
I did some additional tests.
And it seems the problem occurs when I have a second null sink.
With
only one null sink, I don't have any problem. Weird.
So here is an example of the configuration that causes the problem
:
1st shell:
$ pacmd load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MySink
$ pacmd load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MySink2
2nd shell:
$ gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc device="alsa_input.usb-0d8c_C-
Media_USB_Headphone_Set-00.analog-mono" ! audioconvert !
audioresample
! pulsesink device=MySink
3rd shell:
$ gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc device=MySink.monitor ! audio/x-
raw,channels=2 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! opusenc ! oggmux !
shout2send ip=... port=... mount=... password=...
After 20 minutes, the sound becomes choppy and stop 4/5 minutes
after.
You can notice that I don't use the second null sink.
Is it a normal behavior ? If so, how can I do to achieve this
configuration on my RPi (by using multi null sink) :
gst_input1 => MySink => gst output1
gst_input2 => MySink2 => gst output2
without any trouble ?
Thanks.

Hello,
I am using pulseaudio (version 12.2) to "join" two audio streams
created
with gstreamer (1.14.4) on a raspberry pi (Raspbian GNU/Linux 10
(buster)).
Here the real things :
In a first shell, i start with :
$ pacmd load-module module-null-sink sink_name=MySink
Then I use gstreamer to get the sound from my audio input (in an
other
shell) :
$ gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc
device="alsa_input.usb-0d8c_C-Media_USB_Headphone_Set-00.analog-
mono"
!
audioconvert ! audioresample ! pulsesink device=MySink
and I send this sound on an icecast server (in an other shell) :
$ gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc device=MySink.monitor !
"audio/x-raw,channels=2" ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! opusenc
!
oggmux ! shout2send ip=... port=... mount=... password=...
Everything is fine, but after 10 minutes, I get in the 3rd shell
($
gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc device=MySink.monitor ! ...) a sequence
of
messages like :
WARNING: from element

...
The sound become glitchy and stop after 2 or 3 minutes.
According to the message, the stream after "pulsesrc
device=MySink.monitor" is too slow. But I don't understand why.
Do you know where is the problem in this setup and how to solve
it ?
Thanks !

Hello,
have you tried with a more recent version of pulseaudio? 12.2 is
pretty
old. You should use 15.0 or current git.

Georg
