Hi, I change the following lines and it works now, however I appreciate any technical explanation: Instead of mad1 = gst_element_factory_make ("mad","mad1"); mad2 = gst_element_factory_make ("mad","mad2"); I put these lines: aconv1 = gst_element_factory_make ("audioconvert","aconv1"); aconv2 = gst_element_factory_make ("audioconvert","aconv2"); Thanks Rossana <div class="gmail_quote">2011/11/13 Rossana Guerra <<a href="mailto:guerra.rossana@gmail.com">guerra.rossana@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi, I'm trying to do an audio crossfade, it plays the first audio file correctly, but when it should play the second one, these errors come: mad gstmad.c:1489:gst_mad_chain: mad_header_decode had an error: lost synchronization 0:00:11.054542971 5898 0x1757a60 WARN mad gstmad.c:1516:gst_mad_chain: mad_frame_decode had an error: reserved header layer v I could did the video crossfade with a similar technique.
