Brad.<BR> However I use two queues for audio and video separately but one pipeline. So it would be impossible for me to pause the pipeline? because the application can play video very well even the audio is blocked. <BR> Why the alsasink will drop all packets(frames) after a break or so? thanks again<BR>  <BR> Shenhong<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR id=EC_stopSpelling> Subject: RE: [gst-embedded] Question on gst_plugin alsasink<BR>Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:55:38 +0800<BR>From: binzhao@motorola.com<BR>To: E3423C@motorola.com; qch1688@hotmail.com; gstreamer-embedded@lists.sourceforge.net<BR><BR> <META content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name=Generator> <STYLE> .ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:0px;} .ExternalClass BODY.EC_hmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} </STYLE> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV align=left><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=EC_592535008-18062008>yes, you can refernce how to use queue. you can set water mark in queue.And then post message to bus if lower than mater mark. in your main app you can recieve </SPAN></FONT></SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=EC_592535008-18062008>the message to pause the pipeline. </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV align=left><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=EC_592535008-18062008></SPAN></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV align=left><SPAN lang=EN-US><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=EC_592535008-18062008>if higher water mark, you can use the same mechanism.</DIV> <DIV align=left><SPAN class=EC_169584808-18062008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV align=left><SPAN class=EC_169584808-18062008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV align=left><SPAN class=EC_169584808-18062008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff></FONT></SPAN> </DIV></SPAN></FONT></SPAN><BR> <DIV class=EC_OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> gstreamer-embedded-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:gstreamer-embedded-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net] <B>On Behalf Of </B>Zhao Liang-E3423C<BR><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, June 18, 2008 4:49 PM<BR><B>To:</B> Shenhong Wang; gstreamer-embedded@lists.sourceforge.net<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [gst-embedded] Question on gst_plugin alsasink<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=3>Hi <SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008>she</SPAN>nhong<SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008>,</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=3><SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=3><SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008>A simply solution you can try.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=3><SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=3><SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008>Put a queue before alsasink, when queue is dry, pause pipeline, and restart pipeline when queue bufferred enough data.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><FONT face="Courier New"><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT size=3><SPAN class=EC_999344508-18062008></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV class=EC_Section1> <P class=EC_MsoNormal align=left><B><SPAN lang=EN-US style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Best Regards<BR>Zhao <SPAN class=EC_SpellE>Liang</SPAN> </SPAN></B></P></DIV> <DIV class=EC_OutlookMessageHeader lang=en-us dir=ltr align=left> <HR> <FONT face=Tahoma size=2><B>From:</B> Shenhong Wang [mailto:qch1688@hotmail.com] <BR><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, June 18, 2008 4:44 PM<BR><B>To:</B> Zhao Liang-E3423C; gstreamer-embedded@lists.sourceforge.net<BR><B>Subject:</B> RE: [gst-embedded] Question on gst_plugin alsasink<BR></FONT><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV>Hi, Zhao Liang:<BR>Generally, the aacdec &alsasink will not play out any audio frames(packets) after its source element has a break to send audio frames (packets) to them.

The audio is aac format. The audio frames(packets) are frequently sent to the aac decoder & alsasink to play out. Unfortunately only the begining frames can be played out and then nothing is played out. <BR>If we save those audio frames into a file, the aac decoder&alsasink can be successfully played out. It means the audio frames are ok. <BR>Could anyone tell me what's the difference for alsasink to process audio packets and files? How to fix the above issue? thank you very much!<BR> <BR>Best Regards!<BR>Shenhong WANG<BR><BR> <HR> Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger  <A href="http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline" target=_blank>Get it now! </A></BLOCKQUOTE><BR> <HR> Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger  <A href="http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline" target=_blank>Get it now! </A></BLOCKQUOTE><br /><hr />Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger <a href='http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline' target='_new'>Get it now! </a></body> </html>
