[gst-devel] GstMad problems

[Luc Simard]

Hello,

I have two questions about gstmad plugin.

1- Is there a reason why the chain function checks only one time if the first 
frame of an mp3 has a Xing header? What I mean is that if I change the state 
of my pipeline to GST_STATE_READY, and that I change the location of my 
filesrc for an mp3 that has a Xing header and I reset the state of the 
pipeline to GST_STATE_PLAYING, what would happen? Should we not set 
mad->check_for_xing to TRUE in the gst_mad_change_state again?

2- Let's say that I have an MP3 that have a bad frame (the first one 
actually), and let's say that mad_frame_decode returns MAD_ERROR_BADDATAPTR 
which is not handled in the plugin. Does someone know what this error means? 
Should we not skip that kind of frame in the plugin?

Thank you very much for your help guys
