------- Comment #3 from Tim-Philipp Müller  2006-03-16 16:41 UTC -------
Basically, gnomevfssrc can't give a filesize for this stream when used like
this, which makes oggdemux-activated-in-pull-mode fail like this:

 gstoggdemux.c(2372):gst_ogg_demux_find_chains: can't get file length
 gstoggdemux.c(2599):gst_ogg_demux_loop:<oggdemux0> error: could not read
chains

Two possible solutions:

 (a) in gnome_vfs_src_start(), add something like:

      if (src->seekable && src->size == (GnomeVFSFileSize) -1) {
        src->seekable = FALSE;
      }

      which will make basesrc return FALSE when trying to activate in pull
mode,
      so it falls back to push mode then.

 (b) fix oggdemux to fall back to push mode when it can't get the upstream size


Probably even both changes should be made.
