[gst-devel] Rhythmbox+Pause+GstStaticPadTemplate & GstAudioClock

[Christophe Fergeau]

Setting the sink to NULL was broken in the early 0.8 releases, then it 
was fixed, and Company readded it to rhythmbox. I don't really see the 
point of waiting 5 secs to go to READY or NULL since people will 
generally pause music for longer than that, so we probably can do it 
immediatly. If setting the sink to NULL is considered wrong by the 
GStreamer team, we probably can special case alsasink and osssink to 
only do it for those two.
Anyway, the only thing I'm interested in is a good way of releasing the 
sound device on pause. It works by setting the sink to NULL. If this is 
wrong/if there are other ways, feel free to propose a better way to do it ;)
