  GStreamer | gst-openmax | Ver: git
           Summary: omx_vorbisdec trumps oggdemux while accepting all
                    application/x-ogg, incl. videos
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-openmax
        AssignedTo: felipe.contreras at nokia.com
        ReportedBy: t.i.m at zen.co.uk

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


omx_vorbisdec should have a rank lower than oggdemux's rank.

On a normal desktop install with gst-openmax + bellagio it's impossible to play
ogg files with video otherwise, since omx_vorbisdec will be chosen over
oggdemux and then error out.

Surely in environments where ogg video playback is not supported anyway (e.g.
because of the absense of theora decoders) there would be no oggdemux installed
anyway, so omx_vorbisdec would be chosen even if it had a lower rank?

And even if not gst-openmax should just provide defaults that are sane in the
general case and let system integrators tweak the details if so desired.
