[gst-devel] segmentation fault creating a cap

[25fps 48kHz]

Hiya,

Thank you very much Tim, your notes helped me so much.

I have noticed that, under some circumstances (mainly with lot of
light), the webcam shows its window and needs about 3 or 4 seconds to
adjust it the light, meanwhile everything is white. I am trying to
capture a single snapshot, and would like to wait those 4 seconds and
then get the snapshot. I have done some tests, and i have figured out
that it needs to be done in pipeline's PLAYING state, but not how. Any
hints?

Best Regards,
