Hi, Where did you get gstreamer for windows ? (<a href="http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es/doku.php">http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es/doku.php</a>) gstreamer version? Anyway, try to set device-name (got the name from graphedit ....)

I have tried using the dshowaudiosrc element like this: gst-launch-0.10 dshowaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink Which results in the error: dshowaudiosrc gstdshowaudiosrc.c:636:gst_dshowaudiosrc_open: Can't create an instance of the directshow fakesink (error=-2147221164) FYI: I have exact the same problem when I want to use the dshowvideosrc for capturing the webcam, but that not an issue because I can use the ksvideosrc element instead. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? Alternative solutions would be welcome too.
