<div>Thank you Pierre and Colin.</div> <div><br>@Pierre: Should both parameters be set to -1? Upon gst-inspecting the pulsesink element, i get following information:</div> <div>buffer-time : Size of audio buffer in microseconds<br> flags: readable, writable<br> Integer64. Range: 1 - 9223372036854775807 Default: 200000 Current: 200000<br> latency-time : Audio latency in microseconds<br> flags: readable, writable<br> Integer64. Range: 1 - 9223372036854775807 Default: 10000 Current: 10000</div> <div>Seems like these parameters will not accept negative values.</div> <div> </div> <div>I am working on an embedded environment, and taking the default vaues of latency and buffer time results in buffer underrun. </div> <div> </div> <div>-Rgds</div> <div>Vallabha<br></div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 11:43 PM, pl bossart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bossart.nospam@gmail.com">bossart.nospam@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote"> <div class="im">> Can anyone let me know as what criterions should be considered while setting<br>> the latency-time and buffer-time parameters for the GST element pulsesink?<br><br></div>The parameter names are a bit misleading.<br> latency-time only deals with the amount of data exchanged between<br>pulsesink and pulseaudio.
