Hi
I have problem with both ALSA and OSS audio input.
With ALSA I can't understand how I'm supposed to name the devices so that I
can use device name other than "default" (which works). Have tried "hw:0,0"
for the first card and "hw:1,0" for the second. The result I get when trying
to open any of these devices is:
** (process:3930): WARNING **: error setting rate (44100): Invalid argument
and the process is consuming all available CPU without producing any output.
The command line looks like this:
gst-launch alsasrc device=hw:0,0 ! wavenc ! filesink location =/tmp/tst.wav
If i enter some bogus device name i get:
error opening pcm device hw:2,0: No such file or directory
So it seems like hw:0,0 and hw:1,0 is the right devices and that they are
opened correctly but there are some problem setting the sample rate.
How can I choose which card I wan't to use with the gstalsa plugin?
If I try using OSS instead I can play audio but when I try to record audio
the tst.wav file is empty and the process eats all available CPU.
gst-launch osssrc device=/dev/dsp ! wavenc ! filesink location
=/tmp/tst.wav
Is there anything I have missed? This worked with version 0.4.2 of GStreamer
and I noticed that there have been some changed to the valid parameters to
the OSS plugin.
This have been tested on Debian Unstable with kernel 2.4.19
ALSA: 0.9.0rc6
GStreamer: 0.5.2 and CVS 0.7.0.1
