Hello, Im tryign to incorporate the level element into a playbin2. This is the significant part of what I have tried GstElement * outputsink; outputsink = gst_element_factory_make( "gconfaudiosink", "audio-sink" ); ... GstElement * m_Playbin = gst_element_factory_make( "playbin2", "play" ); ... GstElement * level = gst_element_factory_make( "level", "levelctrl" ); GstElement * replay = gst_element_factory_make( "rgvolume", "replaygain" ); gst_bin_add( GST_BIN( m_Playbin ), level ); gst_bin_add( GST_BIN( m_Playbin ), replay ); g_object_set( G_OBJECT( m_Playbin ), "audio-sink", outputsink, NULL ); g_object_set( level, "message", true, NULL ); g_object_set( G_OBJECT( m_Playbin ), "flags", 0x02|0x10, NULL ); gst_bus_add_watch( gst_pipeline_get_bus( GST_PIPELINE( m_Playbin ) ), ( GstBusFunc ) gst_bus_async_callback, this ); The problem I have is that I dont get the Element messages. All the rest works fine including the replay-gain volumen but I dont get the level messages in the callback function. What I want to do is detect when the sound level is below an user defined level so I can skip to next track. I dunno if this is the correct place to put it but I have been tryign to search for this with no success. Please if u know what is wrong or how it should work let me know Thanks in advance J.Rios
