Hi,   Is it possible to have the callbacks while playing the audio stream by using "playbin" element with uri propery? /Ganesh /Ganesh <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jul 6, 2008 at 4:48 PM, Stefan Kost <<a href="mailto:ensonic@hora-obscura.de">ensonic@hora-obscura.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Ganesh Kundapur schrieb:<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi,  I'm playing mp3 file and the code snippet for that is as fallows ... loop = g_main_loop_new ( NULL, FALSE ); pipeline = gst_pipeline_new ( "mp3-player" ); source = gst_element_factory_make ( "filesrc", "file-source" ); decoder = gst_element_factory_make ( "mad", "mp3-decoder" ); conv = gst_element_factory_make ( "audioconvert", "converter" ); sink = gst_element_factory_make ( "alsasink", "sink" ); g_object_set ( G_OBJECT(source), "location", "x.mp3", NULL ); gst_bin_add_many ( GST_BIN(pipeline), souce, decoder, conv, sink, NULL ); gst_element_link_many ( souce, decoder, conv, sink, NULL ); gst_element_set_state ( pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING ); g_main_loop_run ( loop ); Here after, it starts playing. Once its playing, control is not coming out till the stream ended. If i want to pause after certain time interval say 10 sec, i cant do it while playing the stream. Even i set alarm signal and signal handler, but  alarm signal is not delivered while playing the stream. Is there any way to play the audio files asynchronously? </blockquote></div></div> They are play'ed async already. You need to register some callback to get control back. E.g.: g_timeout_add_seconds() or without a mainloop: clock = gst_pipeline_get_clock (GST_PIPELINE (bin)); clock_id = gst_clock_new_single_shot_id (clock,    gst_clock_get_time (clock) + (10 * GST_SECOND)); gst_clock_id_wait (clock_id, NULL); Stefan <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> /Ganesh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
