<div dir="ltr"><div>I did a little more digging and I'm pretty convinced that the problem is indeed that after GStreamer 1.0.8, a dependency on Pulseaudio >= 2.0 was added, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise only provides Pulseaudio 1.1. So users of distros based on Precise are "stuck" on gstreamer1.0-plugins-good version 1.0.8, with no cairooverlay element.<br>
<br></div>I'm guessing my best option then will be to go back to using GStreamer 0.10.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jul 5, 2014 at 11:06 PM, Dan Kegel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dank@kegel.com" target="_blank">dank@kegel.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
