  GStreamer | gst-plugins-base | Ver: 0.10.12
           Summary: alsasink device=plug:dmix only opens once (fd in bad
                    state)
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: sphink at gmail.com

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


I have a test program that creates 35 separate pipelines, each terminated in an
alsasink. If I leave the alsasink devices set to 'default', it manages to open
32 of them before running out of devices. If I set the device to 'plug:dmix',
it opens one and the rest fail. These are independent alsasink elements, if
that makes a difference.

I'm not sure why my default device isn't going through dmix in the first place,
but never mind that.

I will attach my sample program. Run it with 35 .wav filenames on the command
line. (Although just 2 should do fine.)

pipeline #0 (N=35) returned 2
